Dress Code

Students should dress in a manner that is conducive to their learning environment and to the safety, health, and general welfare. Careful thought should be given to the message that other students, parents, community members, and staff members take for the choices in clothes being worn at school. Students must dress according to the regulations below anytime they are on school property:

• No see-through clothing, which reveals undergarments or excess skin.

• Shirts should not be too low-cut; necklines should be no lower than 10cm from the bottom of the neck.

• Spaghetti straps, tank tops, bare shoulder tops, crop tops that show the belly button either standing or sitting are not acceptable; straps should be at least 4 cm wide.

• Tattoos should not be visible and must be covered when in school.

• Shorts, skirts, and dresses should not be shorter than 5 cm above the top of the knee when standing; this also applies when leggings are worn under these clothing items.

• Open-back shoes such as flip-flops, slippers, and sandals are not acceptable.

• Clothing that has offensive images or language relating to profanity, sex, guns, gangs, racism, and drugs/alcohol is prohibited.

• PE clothes are to be worn in PE and Fitness classes only. You must change out of your PE clothes.

• Students must maintain proper personal hygiene.

If a student is found to be violating the dress code, they will be asked to change. They may ask their friends for appropriate attire; however, if they do not have any at school, they will be directed to choose from a bin at school or their parents will be contacted to bring them appropriate attire.
