ACHS Dress Code Quiz - Habit #5

The Alden High School Building Improvement Team (B.I.T.) has an annual duty to review and approve the Dress Code as written in the Student Handbook (pg 32 and 33 of your agenda). This year consensus has been reached about the need to make some changes to the existing Dress Code. In our Leadership Class, we began the Creative Problem Solving Process by listening carefully to other students' perspective on the areas of the code that need to be changed and even offered some solutions.
