Free Dress Days

Free Dress Days are scheduled during the school year:

1. To raise funds for school projects.
   
2. As part of prize programs.
3. To celebrate a special event.

The dress code for Free Dress Days permits:

1. Jeans – must fit appropriately and be without rips or tears; no skinny jeans allowed.
2. Tennis shoes or shoes that cover the heels and toes of the foot. Princess shoes, heels, or shoes with wheels are not appropriate for school and cannot be worn.
3. Modest clothing that promotes respect and safety. Shirts must have sleeves and the collar must be within an inch of the collar bone. Yoga pants, tank tops, crop tops, or shirts with spaghetti straps may not be worn. Shorts must be no more than two inches above the knee.​

The dress code for free dress will be modified by the Principal if the need arises.

If a pupil is out of compliance with the uniform standards of dress, grooming, or hygiene, and has been previously corrected in this regard a demerit will be issued. The cooperation of parents/guardians will be sought to correct the problem. It is the responsibility of the parent to ensure that the personal appearance of the student concurs with school standards. Lack of improvement in personal appearance is grounds for disciplinary action that can include the dismissal of a pupil during the school day. Parents/guardians will be called in order to pick up the student from school. This may result in the loss of free dress privileges.
