between January 22nd and March 9th will be rewarded with

Dress Code

remember hats are not to be worn in the school building. Dress code helps
students prepare for the real world of work, and provides a means to teach
students the importance of a respectable appearance that can positively impact
a student’s self-respect and self-esteem. The dress code policy can be
found in the DRHS student planner as well as on the DRHS and WCSD websites.
Vaping
The Corral wants to remind students that smoking a vape device on campus or within sight of school is a violation and the progressive discipline plan applies.
