School Policies and Forms

Lewis Middle School Dress Code
 
In an effort to maintain a safe and orderly campus, as well as sustain a strong focus on academic achievement, the school community adopted a Dress Code. Dress code enforcement begins from the moment a student enters the campus until they leave the campus at the end of the day. The dress code applies to field trips and all other school-related activities. Students who violate the dress code will be sent to the office to change. Parents/guardians may be contacted and required to bring a change of clothing. Multiple violations will result in disciplinary action and the parent/guardian will be contacted. Adhering to the dress code is one way students show that they wish to be a part of the Lewis Middle School community.
