District dress code from district: 

Responsibility for dress and grooming rests primarily with students and their parents; however, the district expects student dress and grooming to meet standards which ensure that either of the following conditions do not exist: Disruption or interference with the classroom learning environment , threat to the health and/or safety of the student concerned or of other student.

Attendance:

Tardies, and skipping can result in lunch detention. Chronic tardiness or skipping can lead to in school suspension.  Refusal to go to class will result in either: lunch detention, in school suspension, or if chronic and not listening to administration the student may serve out of school suspension. Students cannot leave the classroom the first 10 minutes and the last 10 minutes of each class.  The first and last 10 have critical information that students need to be successful in the classroom. 

Afterschool:

Due to liability, once the school day has ended, students need to either leave campus or register for the Boys and Girls Club after school program.   ROWE educators have left the building and this leaves a lack of supervision due to this, all students not in the after school program must leave the premises.
