Please encourage your student to have their badge each day. They are to wear them around their necks. We are still having issues with this, and it needs to be a priority for the students. We will continue to speak with them about the badges. Please know that it could be a discipline issue if students do not have their badge.

I have attached below the dress code policy, please make sure they are following our dress code policy. Student not following the policy will be placed in ISS until the dress code violation is corrected.
