Mandatory Student Dress Code
Our Dress Code policy is explained below. Every student is expected to wear the uniform everyday in school and on school trips. Students who violate the Dress Code will be subject to disciplinary action.
Dress Code:
Boys and Girls wear solid navy or light blue golf or button down shirts and khaki slacks. Girls may also wear a khaki skirt or jumper that is appropriate in length at the knee.
Students should wear comfortable shoes, such as a loafer or sneaker—NO flip-flops or backless shoes. Hats, head coverings and outerwear are not part of the dress code. If head coverings are to be worn for religious purposes, parents must notify the school in writing.
It is expected that students will come to school clean and well groomed. Hats, coats and jackets must be placed in lockers in the morning.
Not Permitted:
Bare shoulders, sleeveless T-shirts, tank tops, halter or midriff tops, short-shorts and mini skirts are prohibited. Clothing with offensive language, pictures, or symbols are prohibited.
Students will not be permitted to wear oversized clothing. Uniform pants and shirts must fit appropriately. If the shirt is too long, it must be tucked in. If the pants are too big, you must wear a belt. Jeans are not permitted to be worn under the uniform pants or skirts. Students who insist on wearing jeans under their uniform will be considered out of compliance. This will result in a disciplinary action as per the Student Code of Conduct.
