Uniforms
At SBCS, students wear uniforms and maintain an orderly appearance to reduce distractions and to elevate the tone of the school. Students should remain in uniform for the entire school day; they are not to change out of their uniforms during lunch/recess time.
The administration, faculty, and staff have the authority to make decisions based on the appropriateness of dress as it conforms to the dress code. Violations will be handled as needed with consequences for infringement ranging from asking parents to bring a change of clothing, to the loss of dress down days. Other consequences may be decided by the administration, faculty, or staff. The administration may grant exceptions from the dress code for a given group, class, or the entire school because of special days, events, and field trips.
Clothing should be neat, clean, and comfortable—NO OVERSIZING/UNDERSIZING.
Parents: Please make sure any piece of clothing that a student might remove during the course of the day is labeled.
