Metro Dress Code

Dress Code

To maintain and promote a professional learning environment in which we wish to cultivate respect and leadership skills for the future, Metro has established the following dress code. Dressing well improves both study habits and behavior.

Metro administration will make decisions regarding the appropriateness of each student's dress and possible consequences for violation of this policy. Students may be required to change into appropriate clothing. Violations of the dress code rules will result in disciplinary actions. We ask that parents agree to comply with our dress code expectations and assist your daughters in choosing her clothing intentionally.
