DRESS CODE

In order to provide a safe and professional environment that is conducive to learning and one that will assist in preparing the Burrus student for the future, we are requiring that all of our students wear the uniform the SDMC approved. Every teacher is expected to enforce this rule. This includes requiring that all students tuck their shirts in and wear belts.

• No hats or caps of any type may be worn on campus.
• Hair nets, scarves, bandanas and/or sweatbands are not to be worn on campus
