Upper School Dress Code
Upper School Dress Code We believe that it is important for students to differentiate between school and recreational dress and to realize that the School sets high standards in all areas of student life. All students should wear clothes for school that are neat, clean and appropriately fitted. We have adopted a dress code similar to “business casual” dress in the workplace. The following guidelines apply to all students from the time they enter the building in the morning until they leave in the afternoon.
Pants Students should wear appropriately fitted dress style khakis or corduroy pants with belt loops and a belt. Dress shorts (no patterned or cargo shorts) may be worn from the beginning of school until Thanksgiving Break and from Spring Break until the end of the year. Common sense should dictate when shorts may be worn, so if the weather is unseasonably warm before Spring Break, students may wear shorts. The following color pants and shorts are permitted: Khaki (off-white, tan, light green), gray, navy blue, and black. Jeans, “skinny-fit” style pants, cargo pants, or cargo shorts may not be worn. Students are required to wear a belt with all regular pants and shorts. Designer or over-sized belt buckles are not appropriate.

Upper School Dress Code Shirts Students in Grades 9-12 are required to wear long-sleeved dress shirts. Flannel, polo shirts, and rugby shirts are not permitted. No large logos may be worn. Please make sure shirts are long enough that students may easily keep them tucked in. A US or house tie may be worn with an appropriately styled dress shirt.
