• Student Dress Codes for District 6 Schools

    There are two dress codes in effect within District 6, a Universal Student Dress Code that applies to all students in all schools, and an Enhanced Dress Code that applies only to specific schools.

    Enhanced Dress Code for Specific Schools
     
    Background
    Some schools in District 6 have individually chosen to have a more detailed and proscriptive dress code, in addition to the districtwide Universal Student Dress Code. The enhanced dress code is also sometimes called a “school uniform.”

    Schools following the enhanced dress code work with local service organizations to provide families with assistance in purchasing the designated clothing.
