The Bright School Dress Code

The Bright School Dress Code Updated for 2010-2011

Student dress is a shared responsibility between the home and the School. We expect that our students will present a consistency of acceptable appearance in dress, attitude, and performance.   It is recommended that all clothing, particularly outerwear, be labeled with the child’s name in permanent ink.
