Dress CodeChanges were made to dress
code 2020-2021 by our Shared Decision Making Committee.
01
The purpose of Pershing’s Dress Code is to ensure a safe learning environment and to promote a climate of effective discipline that doesn’t distract from the educational process. All students will be checked prior to entering the building to ensure that dress code is being followed. Students who are out of dress code will have to call their parents to bring their dress code clothing or they will be placed in In-School Suspension for the day. Students who need financial assistance with dress code shirts/sweatshirts/PE uniforms, may see their Counselor.
