IHS Dress Code Expectations

The SCCPSS Student Dress Code requires that students maintain and visibly display a current, valid school ID on a lanyard around their neck at all times while on campus, on school buses and at school sponsored events. The school will provide each student with an ID badge at the beginning of the year at no charge. Students may not draw on or otherwise damage or deface their school ID badge. The student’s full picture and full name must be visible at all times. Students arriving at school without a current, valid ID badge should immediately report to the attendance office to purchase a temporary ID sticker for $1. If the student does not have $1 to purchase the temporary ID, the money owed becomes a fine and must be paid as soon as possible. If a student accrues fines, the fines must be paid off before report cards will be issued at the end of the school year. If a student loses his/her ID badge a replacement should be purchased. Payment for replacement and Temporary IDs can be made through schoolcashonline.com. The replacement charge is $5.00 for the ID badge. Any questions, you can email Ms. Smoak at Cheryl.Smoak@sccpss.com.
