Our dress code is very important to us. We are training students for success in an industry that demands a professional appearance. We know as a school community the reputation of our students means everything – so dress for success. As a result of this SES students are required to wear polo shirts, or solid-colored shirts with a collar (RED, patterned are not allowed) and basic blue, tan/khaki or black slacks Monday – Thursday and dress in regular clothes (according to our dress code below) on Fridays. Life at SES will be very active in and out of the classrooms – you must wear clothing on Friday that is easy to move in and that could possibly get dirty. Flip flops are not allowed.

Logos, Silk Screened Images, Writing:
Any clothing with logos, silk-screens or writing should be avoided at all times. Our dress code is designed to enhance the image of our school and the reputation of our students. When you purchase clothing for school – do your best to purchase clothes without logos or writing of any nature. Under no circumstances are students to wear clothing with any messages that are in nature: sexual, degrading, related to tobacco, alcohol, drugs, gangs, violence. Any gang-related numbers including 916 (or any other area codes) are not allowed on campus at any time.

***Clothes That Are Either Solid VARIATIONS OF RED (Or BLUE; Dark/Navy Blue Excepted) Are Not Allowed On Campus. ***
