DRESS/UNIFORM CODE
APPEARANCE
Personal appearance and dress reflect the habits and values of the person. For that reason, we require the children to observe certain regulations concerning dress, hair styles, and cleanliness. Parents are expected to cooperate in this matter. The following are rules that all students must follow:
- Boys and girls are required to have hairstyles that are neat. For boys: hair should not be longer than the top of the ear lobe and should not touch the shirt collar. For girls: no hairstyles or hair accessories that cause enough attention to become a distraction.
- Certain hairstyles are not permitted (including shaved, Mohawk/faux hawk, spiked, tails, steps, any fades, or unnatural hair colors). Hair is to be of one natural color.
- Students are not permitted to wear makeup at school, and only clear nail polish is allowed.
- Jewelry worn must be school appropriate and must be safe to wear (determined by school administration). Earrings can be worn (one pair of earrings, only for girls) and must not hang lower than the tip of the earlobe. This rule is for safety reasons. One bracelet may be worn. Watches may be worn, but watches that make noise or that have the capability of taking pictures or messaging (i.e. an Apple watch) are strongly discouraged. If your child wears a “smartwatch” we recommend using curtain mode. It should be used for nothing but telling time, the first time a child uses their watch for any other purpose, they will no longer be permitted to wear a smartwatch at school.
- Socks must be solid white, navy blue or black.
- Shoes must be white, navy blue, gray or black. All shoes must be secured with laces, Velcro, or buckles (no slip-on).
