Dress Code

  • Heaton Middle School believes that coming to school each day DRESSED FOR SUCCESS supports the vision of the College and Career oriented culture. The dress code for the 2019-2020 school year addresses the need for success, safety, and modesty, which helps support the sanctity and consistency of the learning environment.

    It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian and student to read the district’s dress code policy (See SC&DC File: JICA) and to know what it is.
