Blackhawk Middle School - Dress Code

Blackhawk Dress Policy

Early adolescents grow at different rates and families have differing views on what is appropriate for students to wear to school. Our dress policy is designed to be conservative in nature to allow students to safely and comfortably concentrate on scholastic achievement.  Student dress and appearance shall not have a negative effect on or be disruptive to the educational process.

Students who are dressed inappropriately will be asked to change or remove the offending article.
