Dress Code Highlights • Shirts and shorts/skirts/pants must be appropriate in coverage, as measured by a 3 x 5 index card. • 3 ” on the sleeve and no more than 5 ” above the knee • This requirement must be met without additions (for example, leggings underneath a skirt or a jacket over an inappropriate shirt) • Clothing must not be inappropriate or suggestive in style and/or message. • Students may not utilize any hair color/pattern that does not occur naturally; nor style it in a manner that is a distraction to the educational environment. • Body piercings, other than the ear, are not permitted. • Again, the full dress code will be available in the student planner and reviewed with students at school.
