Personal appearance is an individual matter. No one, however, has the privilege of disregarding the norms of reasonable dress. Attire that could interfere with the learning process is not allowed. Students will be counseled on an individual basis if their attire is improper. Parents will be contacted if there is a question regarding a student’s attire. Clothing must always conform to safety standards of the particular class. A committee of parents, teachers, administrators, and students drew up the following dress code:
- Clothing is clean and neat without holes or tears
- The bottom of the top overlaps the top of the bottoms
- Spandex and Lycra are acceptable only when worn over or under less revealing garments

- Apparel decorated with logos for tobacco products or alcohol products are prohibited
- Hemlines of skirts or shorts must fall below fingertips when arms are relaxed at sides
- Shoes/sandals must be worn at all times
- Hats (caps, berets, scarves) may not be worn in the school
- Undergarments should not be visible and pants must be worn adequately high that underwear is not visible
