What happens if a student reports to school and is not in compliance with the dress code?

The first time a student reports to school in violation of the dress code the student will receive a one hour detention. The student will also receive a dress code sticker that is to be worn all day.

The second time a student reports to school in violation of the dress code the student will be sent home or the parent/guardian must bring the appropriate clothing to the school. If a student is sent home he/she will not be able to return to school until a parent conference is held.
