Loaner Uniforms
If a scholar needs to borrow a school “loaner” shirt, bottom, or fleece jacket, they will sign it out and return it to the uniform room at the end of the school day. If an item is not returned within 3 days, the parent will receive a bill for its value: $25 for the fleece and $15 for any other item (skirt, shirt, or shoes).
Uniform Infractions
First notification. Scholar changes into appropriate uniform. Parent contacted via email.
Second. Parent contacted by email & phone; scholar joins a community service project during recess.
Third. Parent notified; scholar completes a uniform/dress code project during recess.
Fourth. Parent meeting with DCC scheduled; uniform memorandum signed by scholar and parent.
