Our school guidelines are based on the following criteria: appropriateness, safety, and full participation in the school day. Following are the specifics of what is expected in school:

   Overall clean and neat appearance. No tattered clothing.

   Clothing should be appropriate for all of the activities of the day.

   Appropriate footwear for the activities of the day. It is a good idea to keep an extra pair of shoes or sneakers at school in case one pair gets wet or muddy.

   Warm clothing and appropriate outerwear for the weather conditions. We will be outdoors every day at lunchtime, unless the weather is severe.

   Clothing should be loose enough to allow for free movement, not clingy or form fitting.

   Appropriate undergarments (bra, underwear, slip, etc.) should be worn, but not seen.

   Shirts and tops should cover shoulders and midriffs. No spaghetti straps please, but wide strapped tank tops are okay. Students should be able to reach, raise arms, and move around without exposing tummies.

   No see-through clothing.

   Shorts should be long enough to cover the upper half of the thigh.

   Skirts/dresses should be down to the knee. If worn with leggings or shorts, then mid-thigh is okay.

   Pants should not be dragging on the ground or falling off the hips.

We hope that these guidelines are helpful. If we see questionable attire at school we will discreetly ask the student to change clothes or make appropriate adjustments before school begins. If a student does not have something at school to change into, we will have a few articles of clothing available in the school office (no style or fit guarantees!), or they may make a phone call home to have another set of clothing delivered. We will contact the parents if a student has ongoing difficulty with compliance.

If you have any questions, please contact the school office.
