Dress Code

Student 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 midriffs, buttocks, cleavage, and undergarments (bra/underwear).
Examples of clothing that would be deemed inappropriate may include:
tank tops that reveal portions of the bra that are not the straps, strapless 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 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
