Dress Code

Creating a positive learning atmosphere is a collective responsibility. These guidelines have been established to ensure that safety and health standards are maintained as well as an environment conducive to learning.  The guidelines were established in collaboration with the SDMC (May 2017). We solicit your cooperation in ensuring that appropriate school dress and grooming is maintained.

• Shorts, skirts, and dress length must reach the tips of the student’s fingers when placed by their sides while standing in an upright position.

• Leggings must be worn underneath tops, skirts, dresses, or shorts and must meet the finger-tip rule.

• Appropriate shoes are to be worn at all times. All footwear must have heel straps.  Flip-flops of any kind may not be worn.  Tennis shoes and socks should be worn for P.E. 

• Clothes that depict or refer to alcoholic beverages, violence, drugs, nudity or contain suggestive slogans will not be allowed. Verbiage written on the buttocks of pants/shorts is not allowed. 

• Hats, head coverings and hoods on jackets may not be worn inside of the building (unless for religious or documented medical reasons). 

• Tops must be long enough so that the skin is not showing when bending over but shorter than the shorts or skirts worn with them.

•  Halter tops, spaghetti straps, tops that expose the back and the midriff are not allowed. 

• Belts must be worn with loose-fit shorts or pants so that pants stay fitted on the waist.

• Make-up is not allowed.

Appropriateness of dress is determined by school administration.
