Dress Code
This is a public school therefore, the use of uniforms is not required. There is however, a dress code policy. Such inappropriate clothing include hats in school, short shorts, gang colours, etc.. According to several students, it has become their opinion that wearing boxes is "against the dress code." This has become so by a group of students (namely Kyle Patrick, Shayne Miller, Adam Martin, and Tyler Copoc) coming to the school with boxes around them. After asked to take them off, Copoc continously argued that boxes were NOT against the dress code, (check your york region agendas) and proceeded to argue until sent to the principal's office. The others immediately took their boxes off; however, Martin and Miller were still sent to the office after asking if they could store the boxes in their lockers; Patrick got off scotch free after taking the box off and walking off.School Mascot
