Dress CodeStudent Personal Belongings/Dress Standards,
Students need to be prepared for school, which includes an appropriate appearance. Most of our students do an excellent job and look like professional students. Teachers check in the morning for an appropriate, professional appearance. Our dress code policy covers both the elementary and middle school campus. Students who do not wear appropriate school attire will be asked to make a change. Students may need to have clothing brought from home or supplied by the school to finish the day. Students who fail to comply with the dress code on more than three occasions will be treated as defiant. In order to look like a professional student, your children should come to school with the following:
- Clothing must cover the shoulders, midriff, buttocks, cleavage, and undergarments (bra/underwear). Examples of clothing that would be deemed inappropriate may include:
tank tops with straps too thin to cover a bra, strapless tops, off-the-shoulder tops, low-cut shirts, bare-back, sheer or mesh clothing that does not have an appropriate blouse or shirt underneath, pants that sag and show underwear, etc. - Clothing must not be excessively tight, see-through, or sheer.
- Undergarments and swimwear may not be worn as outerwear.
- Pajamas, sleeping garments, blankets, and/or slippers may not be worn. (unless it is a designated day)
- Clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags, accessories, and hats that advertise, promote, depict, or suggest alcohol, tobacco, drugs or any illegal substances, sexual activity, gangs, graffiti, violent acts or characters, inappropriate graphics, gestures, or words, or are derogatory, disparaging or demeaning toward any individual or group of individuals may not be worn.
- Clothing, shoes, jewelry, bags, accessories, and hats that are gang-related, denote a hate group, present a safety hazard, or disrupt the learning environment may not be worn.
- Hats and hoodies must be removed in classroom or office settings.
- Shoes that are flat and allow students to participate in sports activities and recess activities (sandals must have a heel strap). All students must have tennis shoes for PE and it is preferred for recess and lunch activities to ensure student safety. Slippers, Slides, or flops are not permitted.
- Elementary: Clean faces free of all make-up. Natural lip gloss may be worn.
