We, at Loggers’ Run Middle School, believe that students have a right to attend a safe and secure school where the focus is on high academic performance.  We believe our standardized dress code will help promote a safe and wholesome learning environment for all students.  The dress code is the responsibility of the student. If students do not adhere to the following guidelines, progressive discipline will be put in place.
