Students are required to follow all rules and regulations. State law requires students to wear approved safety glasses worn in the lab area at all times. If your child already wears prescription glasses, another style of safety glasses is available to wear over the prescription glasses. Long hair must be tied back and earrings, necklaces, or jewelry of any type are not permitted to be worn in the lab area at any time. Each student will be required to have sturdy shoes (no sandals or open-toe/heel shoes), pants or coveralls and a work shirt with sleeve. A belt or suspenders must be worn to keep pant legs off the floor, for both safety and for our students to look professional.
