The girls wear yellow socks or green knee socks, and the boys may wear either dark or white socks. School shoes are to be worn. Summer uniform may be worn September and October and begins again after Easter. This will be announced in school.
PERSONAL APPEARANCE
It is understood that all students are expected to dress in a neat, clean, modest, and safe manner at all times. Students’ shirts should be tucked in, whether they are wearing pants, shorts, skirt or a skort.
HAIR. All hair should be neat, clean, and appropriately styled. Trendy fad-like hair styles and hair accessories that tend to disrupt the class or contribute to safety hazard are not permitted. Boys' hair length must be away from the eyes and not exceed the collar of their shirt. Neither boys nor girls may unnaturally color their hair. Older boys must shave facial hair.
MAKE-UP, TIPs, AND FINGERNAIL POLISH ARE NOT PERMITTED. Girls who have pierced ears may wear only the post or earrings set close to the ear. Boys are not permitted to wear earrings. Excessive jewelry should not be worn in school. Tips and dangling earrings are dangerous in gym class and sports activities. Clear nail polish may be worn.
STUDENTS CONFORMING TO DRESS CODE
If for some reason a student is unable to conform with the dress code on any given day, he or she should bring a note from a parent explaining the difficulty. A uniform excuse pass may then be obtained from the office. Any student who continually fails to comply with the dress code will be referred to the Principal or Vice Principal by his/her homeroom teacher.
UNIFORM EXCHANGE
The school has a Uniform Exchange Program where parents are able to turn in used uniforms in exchange for one that fits their child.
