On special days designated by the principal, students may be out of uniform. The following code is intended to encourage individuality and style within the framework of the virtue of modesty.

Girls: dresses or skirts (no bare shoulders or sleeveless; the length may not be shorter than two inches above the floor when kneeling), white or colored blouses or sweaters that are not form-fitting, dress slacks. Jeans or jeans-style slacks are not permitted except on designated "dress down days, unless otherwise stated by the school administration. No athletic shoes other than the school style. No flipflops, sandals or high heels. Jewelry in accordance with uniform guidelines.

Boys: shirts with a collar, sweater or sweater vest, dress pants in the style of the uniform trousers, belt, dress shoes. Not permitted: Jeans or pants that resemble jeans, shorts, sweats, sneakers, t-shirts, except on specifically identified "dress down days".

When it is determined that a student has reported to school dressed inappropriately, the student will be sent to the assistant principal who will contact the parents and request that they provide a school uniform for the student prior to his/her returning to class.
