We are excited to announce that students can now register to attend an information workshop regarding the Regents’ Scholarship held at our office in downtown Salt Lake.

Students & Parents, With spring approaching, we wanted to remind you of the dress code. Your help following this dress code would be greatly appreciated. Dress Code Policy The purpose of our dress code is to teach young people that different types of dress are appropriate for different settings. Consequently, students in this academic setting are expected to be clean and neat in their personal appearance, observing standards of modesty, moderation, and good taste. “Modesty in dress” at Box Elder High School requires that students refrain from wearing tight-fitting and revealing clothing that displays visible cleavage, visible underwear, and/or bare midriffs. This includes items such as tank tops, sleeveless tops and extreme shorts. Attire that is distracting, extreme, or promotes the use of illegal drugs, tobacco, alcohol, pornography, profane language, gangs or cults is also prohibited. Since the parent is the primary educator of the student, we encourage parents to ensure that their student is in correct dress code on a daily basis while on campus and at school functions. Consequences: Due process for any dress and grooming infractions will be as follows: 1. First offense – Student will be issued a warning and asked to change to comply with policy. 2. Second offense – Student will be brought to an administrator for a conference. Parents will be notified. 3. Third offense – Student will be sent home and parental meeting will be arranged. 4. Fourth offense - Student will be suspended and a student/administration contract written.
