CODE OF CONDUCT AND DRESS CODE

 

 

Introduction

 

One aspect of any organization that must not be overlooked is the appearance and behavior of its members.  As seen from the public domain, the manner in which one acts and dresses is the most important consideration in formulating either positive or negative attitudes about an organization and its school as a whole.

 

Therefore, when we are representing TSA and our schools, we must uphold the public image of our organization by dressing appropriately and conducting ourselves at all times in a manner fitting to the high standards set by our organization.  This includes TSA activities at the local level as well as state and national functions.  Make no mistake, our appearance and manners affect how we are perceived and received in very definite ways.  Be proud of yourself and your organization and reflect your pride by being mature and professional in your appearance and conduct.
