DRESS CODE VIOLATIONS:
- First and second violations: the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school and return to the classroom. If the problem cannot be corrected at school, the principal will work with the student and parent to obtain an acceptable change of clothing for the student in a way that minimizes the loss of instructional time.
- At SJ, this means a Mustang Motivator card punch and this means the student will sit in detention until the parent/guardian is able to bring a school appropriate item to replace the dress code violation.
- APs will monitor these violations.
- Third violation: the parent will be contacted by the APs. Then, the student will serve a full day of detention.
For any further violations, the student will be assigned a full day of detention and then the student will also be assigned Saturday School.
