Dress Code

Please be sure to review and follow the school dress code carefully when shopping for the school year. There was an adjustment that allows tops with hoods to be worn as long as hoods are not worn on their head. Please have a conversation with your child about this change if you do allow them to wear a top with a hoodie to school. Hoods worn on the head will receive consequences per the guidelines. Don’t forget to purchase your ECMS Spirit Wear that can be worn daily.
