Hats and head coverings including hoodies are not to be worn inside the school building.
Any clothing/dress articles or appearance that disrupt the normal educational process will not be allowed.
Clothing which has alcohol or tobacco advertisement, inappropriate statements or offensive wording, unacceptable pictures or suggestions, are not to be worn.
No student on school property or at school functions shall wear, possess, use, distribute, display or sell clothing, jewelry, large chains, emblems, bandages, symbols, signs or other things, which are evidence of membership of affiliation in any gang or cult.
Body piercing that becomes a safety issue is prohibited.

It is the responsibility of the staff and administration to set the tone for the educational progress of the students at Grandview School District. Extreme styles, fads, or circumstances not covered, or those that constitute a threat to health or safety, will be treated as inappropriate by the administration or staff. Student dress should lend itself to positive health and safety while meeting basic social expectations. Failure to comply with the guidelines set forth could subject the student to disciplinary action. The principal or his designated staff will make the final decision at the school level as to whether specific attire is disruptive and/or inappropriate. If a student or parent is in doubt about the appropriateness of an item, the best decision is to leave the item at home.
Character Word of the Month.......Excellence
AUGUST: EXCELLENCE
Excellence is doing more than expected-the state of excelling.
We have expectations for behavior. When a person exceeds those
expectations, we say that he/she has achieved excellence.
You can achieve excellence in a number of ways:
* You can set goals for yourself and consistently work to achieve them.
* Once you understand the expectations your parents and teachers have for you, you
can consistently work to meet or exceed those expectations
* You can consistently give your best effort in all that you do.
* You can follow school and home rules, even when an adult isn’t watching.
* You can strive to be your best self, a person of character, a strong representative for home, school
and community.
