Dress code

We ask that students attending our school wear clothing that is comfortable, clean, and appropriate for an elementary school. Because our instructional program includes active play, students must wear clothing that allows them to run and jump, including closed-toed shoes.

Clothing and other items our students wear must not disrupt the educational process nor create safety concerns. All popular fashions may not be appropriate for an elementary school.

Inappropriate dress includes, but is not limited to:

Clothing that does not fit reasonably
Clothing with logos, slogans, words, or pictures promoting or depicting alcohol, tobacco, drugs, vandalism, bigotry, violence, sexual connotations, or profanity — including items with double meanings
Revealing or immodest clothing or tops that expose bare midriff or undergarments, including halter tops, bathing suits, sports bras, tube tops, razor back tops, spaghetti straps, and low-cut tops
Shorts, skirts, and dresses that do not reach the same point on the thigh as the bottom of a student’s closed fist when the arm is extended and resting on the thigh
Earrings, chains, or dangling jewelry that may be dangerous during play
Shoes with open toes or excessive heels
Hats worn indoors or worn incorrectly

With the support and cooperation of our students, parents, and staff, our school will remain a positive and productive learning environment.
