DRESS CODE
As the summer weather is still with us, sometimes our Generals attend school in attire that is more appropriate for the beach than for school. We are asking for your support in reminding your General about the specific dress code expectations that are listed below:
1. Sleeveless shirts are permitted as long as they extend to the shoulder. Tank, tube and halter tops, including “spaghetti” straps, are not permitted. Undergarments and/or midriffs should not be visible.
2. Tasteful shorts are permitted during the school hours. Dresses, skirts and shorts shall be a length of at least mid-thigh.
If students are wearing clothing that does not meet the dress code, we will be calling home to ask you to provide alternative clothing. Thank you in advance for taking the time to review these expectations with your General and for your support as we ensure they meet the expectations!
