Jr. High students will wear a lanyard with their scan card attached at all times. 3rd-6th elementary students will have a lanyard with a scan card and follow the teachers’ directions in wearing it. K-2nd will have a scan card, but kept by the teacher in a book to be shared with library and lunch. JUST a thought: put cards in book like library and teacher can scan quickly and aide takes it to lunchroom.

All accessories should complement the outfit without distracting from the educational process. Scarves can be worn. No hats, hoods, bandanas, headbands with ears/unicorns, etc., or sunglasses will be allowed. Distracting hairstyles and hair colors are not permitted. No shoes with wheels, slippers, open-toed (elementary only), or high heels will be permitted. Body piercing is limited to one pair of earrings only. Coats/jackets may not be worn in class. No torn, frayed or cut-off clothing is allowed. No gang related items, colors, etc. are allowed.

Black athletic shorts or pants. Plain grey t-shirt with or without school logo and with sleeves. Appropriate sports bras, leotards, and other undergarments may be worn as underclothing, but underclothing may not be visible. Tennis or athletic shoes required.

An important role at HighMark is teaching students how to dress professionally. An interview would be a perfect example of when you should dress professionally. Students are required to Dress for Success on the 4th Monday of each month. Additional guidelines for Dress for Success Days will be provided.
