​
-
Footwear is required and must be safe and appropriate for indoor or outdoor physical activity.
​
-
Clothing or accessories may not display offensive, vulgar language or images, nor promote inappropriate and/or illegal products such as alcohol, tobacco, and illegal drugs.
​
-
For students in Grades 3-5, “short shorts”, mini-skirts, and skin-tight outer material such as spandex are inappropriate attire. No shorts or skirts shorter than four (4) inches above the knee are allowed.
​
-
Shirts, blouses, and dresses must completely cover the abdomen, back, and shoulders. Shirts or tops must be no longer than wrist-length and must cover the waistband of pants, shorts, or skirts with no midriff visible.
​
-
Waist-length and appropriately sized sweaters, sweatshirts, and lightweight jackets can be worn inside school for warmth. The school administration reserves the right to determine whether a student's attire and appearance are within the limits of decency, modesty, and safety. In matters of opinion, the judgment of the Principal/designee shall prevail. The Principal may allow exceptions for school-wide programs or special classroom activities. The school administration will administer appropriate consequences for policy infractions.
