TLC Dress Code

Good learning situations depend on the best possible behavior and attitude of students.  Students should be encouraged to take pride in themselves and to strive to meet public expectations.  Students should be neat and clean, thus reflecting favorably on themselves and the school. Where there is any doubt that students are not adhering to the standards of dress, the principal or designee will render the final decision.
