King/Drew
Dress Code
The King/Drew Magnet High School dress code was developed to establish
a friendly and professional atmosphere that promotes pride, respect
and safety for the students and staff. As a family of professionals,
our basic standard for students is to dress as if they were coming
to work and take pride in their appearance. School is a place of
business. Education is the student’s job. We depend on parental
support in controlling our dress standards. The following dress
code guidelines will be enforced daily at the King/Drew Magnet High
School. Uniforms may be acquired in the student store or at designated
uniform stores.

Standards
of Behavior:
King/Drew Magnet High School faculty, staff, students, and parents
are committed to creating a safe environment in which our students
acquire the knowledge and maturity they need to function in an increasingly
complex society. King/Drew is a place where students pursue learning
and attain their goals in an atmosphere of respect, support, encouragement,
nurturance, guidance, and high expectations. King/Drew students
have traditionally supported these efforts by living up to the highest
academic and personal standards.
Academic
Honesty
King/Drew students subscribe to a moral code that requires them
to submit their own work representing their own learning. Any student
who illegally obtains materials that compromise the integrity of
any test or assignment will fail the test or assignment and be subject
to administrative discipline Students cheating during the administration
of any test (giving or receiving unfair advantage over other students)
will be considered in violation of the King/Drew High School Code
of Conduct. Violators will be subject to immediate review and investigation
and appropriate action will be taken.
Attendance
Policy:
Participation in school class experiences promotes successful student
learning. Class participation is part of the course grade: therefore,
regular punctual attendance is vital to success in school. Medical,
dental, and other appointments should be scheduled after school.
Students
are responsible for making up work missed from an excused absence.
Follow the teacher's policy about missed assignments.
Any
student returning from an absence must report to the attendance
office window by 7:30 a.m. with a written note containing the reason
for the absence, the date of return and the signature of a parent/guardian.
Students may not make phone calls to parents to verify the reason
for the absence.
After
the third day of absence, school personnel will call parents to
verify absences. Excessive absences could jeopardize course grade
and may be dealt with administratively.
Books:
King/Drew students treat textbooks as if they were their own. They
must keep the books covered and understand they are responsible
for lost, stolen, or damaged books. A clearance for lost books and
materials must be issued to receive report cards.
Campus
Visitors:
All visitors are to report to the main office when they arrive on
campus to receive a visitor pass. Young children are not permitted
on campus under any circumstances.
