Grooming:  We ask the cooperation of all families in fulfilling dress code and grooming
regulations.  Unless otherwise announced, the school uniform is to be worn on all school
days.  Grooming regulations include (but are not limited to) the following:

  • All uniforms should be neat, clean and ironed.  No torn or ragged uniforms will be
    allowed.
  • Absolutely no make-up, fingernail polish, acrylic nails, jewelry, accessories (including
    wallet chains and excessive hair clips) or dangling earrings are permitted.  Girls may only
    wear stud-type earrings on the ear lobe.  Boys may not wear earrings.
  • No “extreme” or fad haircuts are allowed on boys or girls.  Hair must be of the natural
    color.  Boys’ hair must be off the face and may not cover the ears or touch the collar of
    the shirts.  The administration reserves the right to determine what constitutes an
    “extreme” haircut.
  • No hats, visible body piercing or tattoos (permanent or semi-permanent) are allowed.

Only in an emergency or on non-uniform days are students to come to school in non-uniform
dress.  (In case of emergency, a note will be required from the parents.)

Casual Dress Code:  Days on which the students may wear dress other than the school
uniform are considered a privilege.  Students are expected to adhere to good grooming and
neatness on these days.  No oversized or baggy clothes, torn clothing, tank tops, spaghetti
straps, tube tops, bare midriff tops, shorts other than walking length shorts, hats or T-shirts
with inappropriate slogans may be worn. Shoes must be appropriate for PE and recess. A
student will lose the privilege of non-uniform dress if he or she disregards the above
regulations.  When there is a question, the appropriateness of the attire will be decided by the
administration and parents will be called to bring appropriate clothing.
