School
uniforms contribute to the safe and orderly environment of Belle Isle Enterprise
Middle School. Students are expected to be in uniform each day.
Belle Isle Enterprise Middle School is in compliance with the OKC District Dress
Code Guidelines as stated in the OKC School Student Handbook. The
following items are joined with that document. Any student wearing
improper apparel may be sent to the office. In that event, the student
will be asked to not wear the item again. If
necessary, students may borrow items from the “uniform closet” and/or call
home for a change of clothing. Violations of the uniform policy are
also considered to be violations of the school’s Honor Code and Discipline
