DRESS CODE

Students are expected to come to school each day dressed in a way that facilitates their and other students' learning. The dress code below is not intended to be all inclusive in nature, but a guide to families with listed particulars. Any clothing item that is deemed disruptive to the learning environment or dangerous to students will not be allowed.

• Hadley school ID's are to be worn on a lanyard at all times. Any school-appropriate lanyard is allowed.
