Dress Code!
Reasonable care and neatness in regard to dress and appearance are required of all students. The following regulations are based on common sense and decency. Dress Code violators will report to the office. If arrangements are not able to be made, then the student may report to ISS.
•1. All students are to wear shoes at all times.
•2. Skirts/dresses should reach to the top of the knee cap unless opaque tights are worn underneath. If tights are worn the skirt must be no shorter than 2 ½ inches above the top of the knee. Slits should not be above the knee.
•3. Shorts should be no shorter than 2 ½ inches above the top of the knee.
•4. No skorts, unless they meet the same requirements as regular skirts.

•6. Tank tops, sleeveless shirts, strapless tops, spaghetti straps, midriff shirts, off-the shoulder shirts, or other clothing that reveals any cleavage or the stomach/back are not allowed. This includes sheer tops.

•11. Body piercing is limited to the ears only, and not excessive, to avoid drawing undo attention away from the education environment.
