ALTERNATE DRESS

Alternate Dress Days

On occasion, students may be permitted to attend school in alternate dress to the regular dress code. These days will be designated in the ways listed below and students must abide by the guidelines as specified.

Concert Attire: Students are expected to wear dress-up clothing for performing arts events (e.g., a white dress shirt and black chino-style pants or a solid black skirt or dress). Teachers will provide specific instructions.

Dress-Up Days: Students are expected to wear more formal clothing (e.g., a dress shirt with slacks and a tie or blazer or sweater, or a dress that follows the general appearance guidelines). Teachers will provide specific instructions.

Spirit Days: Students may dress to the theme or guidelines given for that day (e.g., Brown and Gold Day, Halloween, Homecoming, Class Shirt Day, etc.). Students who choose not to participate should attend school in dress code attire.

Free Dress Days: All clothing must be unaltered and in good condition. All clothing must be free of rips, tears, and fading. Tank tops with a minimum width 1-inch strap, opaque leggings, and athletic wear are allowed. All tops must be long enough in length to fully cover the torso from shoulders to the waist and all bottoms must be long enough that they reach the bottom of a student’s fingertips when the arm is fully extended. Additionally, all undergarments must be completely covered by the student’s apparel and should not by visible above or below tops and bottoms. Clothing with inappropriate images, graphics, or wording is not allowed. Students who choose not to participate in free dress should attend school in dress code attire.

The School reserves the right to determine the acceptability and appropriateness of a student’s appearance and attire even if such is not specifically delineated in the policy.
