Weekly Update: Warm day & Happy Days!
School-Wide Dress Code Reminder
As the weather warms up and spring arrives, this is a friendly reminder to ensure learners are dressed appropriately for school.
To clarify what is considered appropriate:
Certain body parts must be covered at all times. Clothing should fully cover the abdomen, genitals, buttocks, breasts, and nipples with opaque fabric.
Students May Wear:
- Fitted pants, including opaque leggings, yoga pants, and skinny jeans
- Ripped jeans, as long as underwear and buttocks are not exposed
- Tank tops, including spaghetti straps
- Athletic attire
- Skirts and shorts that are no shorter than fingertips when standing with arms at sides (or no more than a few inches above the knee)
Students Cannot Wear:
- Clothing with violent language or images
- Images or language depicting drugs, alcohol, or illegal items/activities
- Hate speech, profanity, or pornography
- Images or language that create a hostile or intimidating environment toward protected or marginalized groups
- Clothing that reveals visible undergarments (waistbands and straps excluded)
- Swimsuits (unless required for class or a field trip)
Learners who wear clothing deemed inappropriate by a guide, Head of School, or owner will receive a warning (considered a minor behavioral infraction) and may be asked to change into school-provided sweatshirts or sweatpants or be sent home. Repeated instances of inappropriate dress may result in an Honor Code violation.
