The Ridgeback
Central Ridge Elementary School SAEC
The
Dress Code for Central Ridge Elementary School is based on the Citrus
County School Board Dress Code. While the Citrus County School Board
recognizes that fashions and fads come and go, but distinctions still
need to be made as to what is and is not acceptable attire for
educational settings. While some clothing may be acceptable in other
settings, they can be completely unacceptable in a positive educational
setting.
The principal or designee is responsible for interpreting and clarifying the Student Dress Code upon student or parent request. The Principal or Designee have the final authority for interpreting and applying the Student Dress Code.
