Students do not have to dress in school uniform; however, they must be dressed appropriately for school. Each student will receive a t-shirt upon check in, and we encourage students to wear this t-shirt throughout the day. Please do not wear tank tops or short shorts. Shorts need to be at least mid-thigh or 3-inch shorts. Shirts and bottoms should not have large holes. Undergarments should not show. Comfortable clothes and shoes are recommended for the day's activities.
