Dress Code Survey

1. Dress Code Information

Thank you for taking the time to complete this survey. As we review our policies, we are seeking input about our current Dress Code and suggestions for possible revisions.

School Dress Codes contribute to a safe and positive environment for learning and teacing. We want students to demonstrate respect for themselves and others by taking pride in their appearance.

In addition to this survey, you are invited to attend an open meeting to discuss the SCS dress code. Watch the SCS website, local newspapers and handouts sent home with students for date and time.
