Dress Code
Dress Code
AMS’ dress code is designed with the intent of providing equity among genders and no longer disproportionately targeting the female body. We also believe in shifting decision making around the appropriateness of clothing to parents and guardians. The school’s role in the dress code is to provide a safe and inclusive learning environment.
A student whose attire is not appropriate for school will be asked to change into P.E. or loaner clothes. Spare t-shirts and/or sweats may be borrowed from the school office.
