Dress Code

To enable students to reach high academic standards, we've put in place a dress code designed to reduce distractions and competitions. Implementing a simple, flexible, cost-effective dress code promotes student learning and increased academic instruction time.

Personal Hygiene

General Expectations

• All shirts must be a short- or long-sleeve polo. A bright green polo purchased only through Image Builders is encouraged. Please contact Image Builder’s toll-free customer service hotline at (855) 654-6243 or go to the school’s website for more information. Alternatively, a white polo may be purchased at a manufacturer of your choice.
• Slacks or dress pants must be navy blue.
• Middle school students may also wear a long or short sleeve white dress shirt with a tie. All ties must be purchased through Image Builders.
• Conservative shoes, including loafer style, dress shoes, tennis shoes, or closed toed sandals, must be worn. Shoe colors may be navy, black or brown. Shoes must be worn appropriately (i.e., laced and/or strapped all the way for safety purposes). Athletic shoes with non-marking soles are to be worn for P.E. class.
• Socks must be solid black, brown, white or navy and worn with shoes.
• Cold weather attire may include sweaters or vests that are solid navy or gray. All cold weather attire must be free of any designs or writing (for example, stripes, wording, etc.)
• Snow boots may be worn as outerwear only and may not be worn in the classrooms.
• Shirts must be tucked neatly into bottoms at all times.
• Undershirts (t-shirts worn under uniform shirts) must be white and must fit appropriately under the uniform shirts. Undershirts may not have longer sleeves than uniform shirts.
• A solid black, navy blue, or brown belt must be worn with all pants and shorts. Belt loops may not be removed from pants or shorts to avoid wearing belts.
