Dress Code

Parents are responsible to make certain their child’s attire meets the code before they come to school. The goal of this dress code is to reduce the distractions and the competitive dress that often leads to bullying, to simplify the clothing attire expectations for parents and students, and to reduce the amount of time taken away from teaching in order to deal with clothing distractions. The ultimate goal of the MVCKS dress code is to allow the focus at school to be on learning in a safe environment. No student may knowingly wear an out-of-dress code piece of clothing with the intent of turning it inside out once at school and wearing it that way the rest of the day. No student will be allowed to wear clothing turned inside-out. Teachers, teacher assistants, and ultimately administrators will enforce the dress code. Failure to adhere to the dress code will result in consequences aligned in the MVCKS discipline matrix.
