Dress Code

  • Student Dress Code In cooperation with students, parents, teachers, and administration, Goodnight School will adhere to a uniform dress policy. This policy is designed with the intent of improving school culture, safety, and pride for those who attend Goodnight School. It was decided by the staff, administration, and the greater Goodnight community that a standardized dress policy will improve academic achievement, safety, student focus, self-esteem, and school spirit. ALL STUDENTS ATTENDING GOODNIGHT SCHOOL MUST ADHERE TO THE UNIFORM DRESS POLICY, AND WILL NOT BE ALLOWED TO ATTEND CLASSES UNTIL THEY ARE OUTFITTED INAPPROPRIATE APPAREL, AS WE WANT OUR STUDENTS TO DRESS FOR SUCCESS.
