DRESS CODE

Dress codes minimize distractions in schools. L'École de Denver students are required to be in dress code during school hours, which includes specific clothing items of specific colors. On the playground and walking to and from the building any coat or jacket may be worn as necessary. Sweatshirts can be any brand and purchased at any store as long as they have no logos on them, and they match our colors, e.g. white, khaki, burgundy and navy blue. No hats or hoods can be worn. The point of the dress code is to minimize student distraction.

If a child wears something that is found to be exceedingly distracting to others, they may be asked to kindly not wear the item in the future. Staff may refer students who are habitually non-compliant with the dress code to the Director.

SCHOOL DRESS CODE
