No pants or jeans that are ripped, frayed, or with holes allowed. Athletic type shoes only. Girls in 3rd - 8th grade are allowed to wear yoga pants as long as the length of the blouse/top is as long as the arms are when extended at the side.

This list is not meant to be all inclusive. The faculty or administration will judge the appropriateness of a student’s appearance. A notice regarding improper grooming or dress will be sent home by the classroom/homeroom teacher.
