The dress code is designed to insure the health and safety of students and to avoid distractions to the educational process, while preserving the basic rights of individuals.  Unsafe or inappropriate is defined as anything which could undermine the morale or endanger the physical well being of a student.  It is our belief that good taste and judgment are keys to proper attire and appearance.

• Shorts may be worn to school if they are no shorter than five (5) inches above the top of the kneecap.  No biking shorts, spandex, or tight fitting shorts/clothing may be worn.
• Skirts or dresses may be worn to school if they are no shorter than three (3) inches above the top of the knee cap (slits or openings in skirts or dresses can not extend beyond three (3) inches above the top of the kneecaps).
