2015-2016 DSST Raptor Dress-Code Expectations
The purpose of the dress code is to provide a set of consistent guidelines that allows students to be comfortable while neat
and pulled together. This policy is to be met by all members of the Denver School of Science and Technology Student
Community and is not all inclusive as fashion changes frequently.
All clothing should meet the following expectations every day except Wednesdays. Failure to do so will result in being put in dress-code
and being assigned a Refocus Intervention.
Wednesdays we will celebrate Raptor Pride Wednesdays with our DSST GVR Middle School. (Dress-down policy is below).
