Regular clothes can only be worn if a student is issued a “DRESS DOWN DAY” certificate. Sneakers must only be worn on gym days. When it snows, boots may be worn to school but students must quickly change into their school shoes upon arrival. Students can wear modest summer clothing for our 6-week summer program.
