Clothing should be safe for children to wear: i.e. students should avoid dangling jewelry, platform or high heels shoes and garments that restrict movement or present a tripping hazard.

Parents, together with students, are responsible to ensure that students:

1.      Wear clean and appropriate clothing.

2.      Practice good hygiene and grooming.  Use of hair color is a personal choice.  However, all color must be applied at home.  Hair color products brought to school will be considered contraband.

3.      Wear covered shoes for physical education classes; for field trips, playing on the field, courts, and 4 square areas; and when working in the cafeteria, office, and library.

4.      Wear shoes that have heels as wide as the shoe, and no higher than 1-1/2”.

5.      Wear clothing that covers undergarments, midriff (belly button), chest, back, and sides.  Tops must have a strap, but cannot be tied behind the neck.

6.      Wear shorts and skirts that are longer than the fist when arms are hanging at the side.

7.      Do not wear:

·         Clothing that shows drug, alcohol, and tobacco use & products.

·         Clothing with foul and offensive language

·         Clothing that shows violence

The dress code also applies to any volunteers on campus and chaperones on educational excursions.
