Our Dress Code reflects the standards of our parents, students, teachers, staff and community members. We meet each year to review and revise it through cooperative planning. It is clearly posted in each classroom, and our teachers make it a priority to ensure that students understand it and enforce it. We also all strive to apply the Dress Code consistently.
As a member of the EDMS community, each person will show respect for themselves and others safety by not wearing clothing that have offensive, distracting, disrespectful, or unsafe symbols or written messages.
Students in violation of the Dress Code will be asked to call home for appropriate clothing, wear a PE uniform, or wear clothing provided by the office. We also respectfully request that adults visiting and volunteering on campus or at school events model our dress code guidelines.
