*****

Violations of the dress code will initially be addressed by an adult of the US community speaking directly with the student under the expectation that the problem will be resolved and will not be repeated. It may be the case that a student who is in violation of the dress code will not be admitted to class, with this absence being treated as unexcused. If a student repeatedly dresses outside the scope of the dress code, the administration may take further steps including calling home, providing appropriate clothing to the student for a nominal fee, assigning lunchtime detentions, sending the student home, or other administrative responses as outlined in the Administrative Consequences section, including the possibility that a student who regularly violates the code may be suspended for a period of time. 

Images or slogans on certain garments that are not inconsistent with the values of the MJBHA may be permitted.
