STUDENT DRESS CODE

If a student is concerned about the appropriateness of a garment, he/she would do best by not wearing it. If a student is inappropriately dressed or not in the correct uniform, we will contact his/her parents to bring the appropriate clothing for the day. If this can’t be arranged, we will take the appropriate steps necessary to reconcile the dress code violation.

Neat dress is desirable at all times. When, in the opinion of the principal, director, or staff member, a student is not properly dressed or exhibits grooming which is detrimental to the school environment, appropriate action shall be taken.

  1. All students are expected to wear uniforms consisting of a white button-up shirt and black slacks or black jeans with a belt that fits at the waist (absolutely no sagging) and in length which falls at the top of the shoe. No writing, pictures, etc. on the clothing. No shorts or cargo pants. Shoes must be tied appropriately, and belts are required for every level.

  2. All students are expected to wear clothing properly. Slacks/jeans are to be worn at the waist with a belt, and shirts must be tucked in regardless of level. Attire must be appropriate, not too tight nor suggestive in any manner.
