Hats
Hats may not display inappropriate language, graphics, or images. Hats must be removed during chapel and prayer.
Prohibited Clothing
Clothing or accessories that promote violence, drugs, gangs, alcohol, or inappropriate language are not permitted.
If a student arrives wearing inappropriate attire, the issue will be addressed immediately. A parent or guardian may be contacted and asked to bring a change of clothing.
Dress Code Review
Standards such as safe, clean, and modest can sometimes be interpreted differently. To ensure consistency, all dress code concerns will be reviewed by the Director or Co-Director.
Repeated dress code violations will result in disciplinary action. Repeated dress code violations may result in disciplinary action, up to and including a two-day suspension.
School administration reserves the right to make final decisions regarding dress code compliance.
Enforcement
School staff will monitor dress code compliance during the school day. Students who do not follow these guidelines may be asked to change or adjust their clothing to comply with the dress code.
Students are expected to correct dress code violations immediately, either by changing clothes or removing/adjusting the item in question.
