In addition to the school-based Mandatory Uniform Policy, the Lee County School District’s Student Dress Code outlined in the Code of Conduct for Students is also enforced. This dress code may be revised at any time during the year. The final decision as to whether an item is appropriate for school rests with the school administration.

NOTE: Students arriving to school out of uniform will be given a written notice to take home and a ONE-TIME courtesy loan from our donated uniform supply. Each time thereafter, parents will be called to bring appropriate uniform clothing to school. Parents are asked to launder and return borrowed uniform items.
