No boots, cowboy boots, flip flops, Dr. Martens, shoes with spikes, tennis shoes, vans, crocs, or other non-formal dress shoe allowed. Dresses that are strapless or have spaghetti straps are acceptable. Dresses that are too short, too revealing in the front or back (inappropriate cut-outs), slit too high, or “see through” will not be permitted. At all dances, students must be dressed appropriately. Students may be asked to modify their attire to meet the dress code requirement at any dance. If a student has any questions or thinks an outfit may be questionable, please contact the Deputy Principal, Student Services, or the Activities Office. If a student or guest is dressed inappropriately, he/she will be asked to leave/denied entrance & money will not be refunded.
