Student Dress Code Policy
The dress code policy is designed to help create a safe and positive learning environment that encourages all scholars to achieve their full potential. The district encourages students to take pride in their attire as it relates to the school setting. Students are to wear the appropriate dress attire during the school day and at school-sponsored activities. The Cartwright School District has adopted student uniforms and a dress code has been established for all schools to promote learning, increase safety on school grounds, foster unity, and minimize clothing expenses. Uniforms are our preferred choice, however, since we are rebranding our school’s image and vision we are allowing students to self-express and wear a "free dress" as long as it is within the school dress code. It is our expectation that ALL students abide by the following dress code guidelines
