Dress Code Overview
TOPS: Students may wear any style light blue shirt or blouse. Shirts with the school’s logo are preferred, but are not required. On colder days, students may also wear white or black sweaters or sweatshirts (although any shirt worn underneath must still be light blue).
BOTTOMS: Students may wear any style black pants, shorts, skirts, skorts or dresses. Black jumper-style outfits are also acceptable if they are worn with a light blue shirt underneath.
Tops and bottoms must fit well: excessively baggy or extremely tight clothing is not permitted.
SOCKS, SHOES, and OTHER ACCESSORIES: Socks and tights must be white, black or light blue. Shoes can be any color or style, but must be close-toed. On gym days, students must either wear or bring gym shoes (tennis shoes). Gym shoes can be kept at school. Other accessories such as jewelry are fine as long as they are appropriate do not present a distraction.
