DRESS FOR SUCCESSIt is expected that all students dress with appropriate taste in order that the educational process is not disrupted. Dressing for school means that you wear clothes in the manner they are intended to be worn. For the purpose of safety and continuity of the instructional program, we ask your cooperation in making District 2 schools a positive learning environment. We ask that you keep the district dress code policy in mind when purchasing school clothes.
