Upper School Dress Code

Student clothing should be neat, modest and appropriate to the educational setting. Older students are role models for those in the lower grades and as such must take responsibility for the school dress code. Students inappropriately dressed will be sent to the office and required to change their clothes.

Overall:
Clothing, jewelry, and hairstyles should make no reference to drugs, alcohol or tobacco. Sexual innuendo, profanity, and statements which are culturally or racially offensive are also prohibited.

Students must wear shoes at all times while on campus. Sandals are acceptable for class time, sneakers and socks are needed for PE.

Boys:
Hats: Hats may be worn but must be removed indoors.

Shirts: Muscle shirts, cut-off shirts, basketball jerseys with large armholes, and mesh-type jerseys can be worn only if there is another shirt with sleeves underneath. All shirts must be long enough to tuck into the pants.

Pants: Pants that fall below the waist or expose the underwear beneath may
not be worn. Shorts must have an inseam of at least 4". No cut-offs or special use shorts (swim suits, beach shorts, trunks, bike shorts, etc.).

Girls:
No spandex or body-hugging materials.
No excessively tight clothing.
No sheer see-through materials.

Tops: Sleeveless tops must have a minimum width of 2 1/2 inches across the shoulders. No "men's sleeveless undershirts". Undergarments should never be exposed. No cleavage or display of the midriff should be visible. A blouse or top should hang 5" over the top waistband of the shorts, pants or skirt. At no time is the belly exposed, including when lifting up the arms or carrying a backpack. Tank tops or camisoles, which do not meet dress code, cannot be visible underneath another shirt or sweater (layering).

Shorts: Shorts much have a minimum inseam of 4 inches.

Skirts: Skirt hems must be below the end of the tips of the outstretched fingers when standing with arms at your sides. (Advisement: tight, straight skirts tend to be immodest and revealing when sitting….)

Dresses: Dresses must have straps that meet the minimum 2 1/2 inch shoulder requirement and skirt length requirement.

Underwear: Underwear is required, but should not be visible at any time for any reason.
