Dress Code
Students should be in full uniform when entering the building and when leaving school grounds as well as when boarding and leaving school buses.
Students should present a neat appearance. Clothing should be clean and unwrinkled. Shirts should be buttoned, except for the top button, and neatly tucked in. Slacks and shorts should be worn above the hips. Hair should be neatly styled and groomed away from the face so as not to cover the face. Shaved heads, haircuts giving the appearance of shaved or bald heads, and other extreme styles are not allowed; boys’ hair should not extend below the top of the shirt collar. Hair accessories should be appropriate and kept to a minimum. No make-up or nail polish is allowed.
Jewelry must also be kept to a minimum. Large necklaces and bracelets are not acceptable. One cross, crucifix or medal, one ring, and a watch are permissible. Earrings (for girls only, on lobes only) are to be studs only; dangle and loop earrings are not permitted.
Dress code enforcement begins at home. A student in violation of the dress code may be sent home to correct the violation immediately or a parent may be asked to bring the appropriate attire. In addition, in the middle school demerits may be issued.
Scouts
All Scouts may wear the appropriate scouting uniforms on meeting days.
