Standard Mode of Dress
2011-2012

Johnston Middle School will have a Standard Mode of Dress for the 2011 - 2012 school year. The JMS decision has been upheld by the SDMC. The dress code applies any time a student is on campus, including before and after school, and on field trips. The dress code policy starts once a student steps onto the school grounds until the student exits the school grounds. No additional items of clothing may be worn beyond what is explicitly stated herein.
