Dress Code Reminders This is a reminder about our basic dress code policies. If your students wear jeans/pants with holes above the knees, they should wear tights, leggings, or shorts to cover exposed areas from holes. Shirts/tops should also not expose the midriff area of the students. Students violating the dress code will be issued written documentation by a staff member, and parent contact will be made by the student to correct the attire. Continued violations may result in interventions and consequences specific to restorative justice and collaboration specific to the student and school. Below you will find a link to our 2020-21 Procedures Manual with all our policies. Thank you for your ongoing support of our school, MUSH Administration 2020-2021 Procedures Manual link https://docs.google.com/document/d/1puazE-NeGRCXMCY7IstvTb-safgDHWUoEbm-5CIhePQ/edit
