Inappropriate or obscene language, advertisements, or images including drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, occultism or other possibly offensive symbols are not acceptable.
3. Sleeveless Shirts & Tank Tops - These will be allowed as long as they cover the area from the base of the neck to the outer point of the shoulder, arm holes are fitted to the arm, and no underclothing shows. All shirts need to meet these standards regardless of additional shirts, jackets, blazers, or other "outer wear" worn over them.
4. Pants & Shorts - Shorts will be permitted if the bottom hem is mid-thigh. The hem of the shorts must reach the half-way point, with arms and hands held straight at the sides. Pants must be of an appropriate size for the child wearing them with no baggy or sagging styles. The waist, crotch and seat of pants or shorts should approximate the waist, crotch and seat of the student in both size and position. The length of pant should approximate the height of the student with legs appropriately hemmed. The width of the pants or shorts legs may extend to the side of the student's leg 4 Vi" at mid thigh or 5 >/2" at mid calf. No underclothing may show.
5. Stretch Pants and Biker Shorts - When worn, a long shirt should also be worn to cover the child's bottom.
6. Dresses - These must meet the same length standard as shorts. Shorts should always be worn under dresses if girls intend on playing on the playground or attending PE.

8. Body Piercing - Pierced jewelry may be worn in the earlobes only. No other pierced jewelry will be allowed. Earrings should not extend below the jaw-line.

10. Cell Phones & Electronic Devices - These devices on students are discouraged because of the distractions they cause. Students who bring these items, need to turn them into the front office each day and pick them up after school. If you feel your child needs some sort of an electronic device, please contact the office.
11. Clothing should be neat, clean and in good repair. All clothing should be hemmed and patched neatly.
