Our students are accountable for dressing in a way that is appropriate for the school day and honors our school values. Students are expected to wear clothing that is appropriate for and supports our safe and inclusive learning community. Clothing should not have any inappropriate or offensive symbols or language or be a distraction to the learning environment. For example, students may not wear clothing that bears inappropriate or harassing slogans, advertises drugs or alcohol, or bears statements/symbols that marginalize students. Students are responsible for choosing clothing that allows them to participate in all aspects of school and they must follow any class-specific dress code guidelines.
If questions arise regarding appropriate dress, the faculty and administration will make the final decision as to what is acceptable attire. Other clothing questions, which arise each year as fashions change, will be answered in light of whether the clothing or accessories in question affect the school community and classroom environment.
Infractions of the dress code will be dealt with by the faculty and administration. If a student violates this policy, the student may be asked to change into other clothing or wear clothing provided by the school. Repeated violations may result in disciplinary action.
At Middle School and Upper School, certain days may be designated “Dress Up Days” for special occasions where we are celebrating our community. On these days, students are expected to dress as if they are going to an interview. This could include appropriate-length skirt/dress or dress pants with a dress shirt. No hats are allowed. Since these days are meant for celebration within our community, any clothing that might put-off someone based on personal beliefs is not allowed. For example, clothing with political statements, foreign military apparel or other potentially exclusionary and/or offensive symbols or statements are not allowed.
At Upper School, teachers will advise students of specific items needed for their classes. Most classes use a combination of paperwork and iPads.
Upper school students should bring,
- Paper/pencils
- Notebook, or something to take notes in
- Folder, or something to hold handouts
- Scientific calculator (Note: Some upper-level math and science classes require students to have a graphing calculator)
- School-issued iPad and charger (9th grade students and new students will receive their iPads at Orientation)
