Out of Uniform Days
Occasionally students will be permitted to “dress down” either as a reward for an announced reason, to participate in a fund-raiser for a designated cause, or to celebrate an event. Clothing should be modest, neat and clean without holes or “rips,” inappropriate language, or inappropriate graphics. The
following guidelines should be followed for out of uniform days.
Permitted:
Girls:
- Jeans, gym pants, slacks (no stretch slacks), capris, skirts, dresses, blouses, T-shirts or other appropriate tops, socks, shoes or sneakers
- Leggings may only be worn with a skirt or dress of appropriate length.
- Aug.-Oct. 14 and April 15 – June: Shorts may be worn but should be the same length as the uniform shorts.

- Not acceptable: Tank tops, halters, spaghetti straps, short-shorts, stretchy pants, holes in clothing, inappropriate graphics or words, flip-flops, or sandals.
