Dress Code

DRESS FOR SUCCESS

The dress code is aimed at establishing and maintaining reasonable standards of dress for all school 

activities. Good taste and judgment in the selection of clothing worn to school are expected. Styles in 

dress and grooming should be appropriate for the context of a school environment and support a safe, 

caring, welcoming, and respectful environment for all. 

Our school supports students being dressed for success by considering a casual workplace attire that 

promotes diversity of expression yet maintains dignity and respect to maintain a focused learning 

environment.

Appropriate clothing includes:

• Shirt/top to cover the upper body.

• Pants, sweatpants, skirts, dresses, shorts of appropriate lengths.

• Proper footwear, taking weather into consideration for transport to and from school, and school 

evacuation. Footwear is to be worn at all times

Meets safety requirements:

• Gym clothing grades 6-9

• Lab coats

• Protective Personal Equipment (eyewear)

• Footwear for specific activities (runners for gym class)

Meets weather conditions:

• Outdoor learning activities

• Daily Physical Activity

• Travel to and from the school

We do not allow:

• Underwear as outerwear

• Hats, togues or hoods

• Discriminatory or suggestive messages on clothing

• Depictions of drugs, alcohol, hate speech, profanity or pornography

• Heavy perfumes or sprays

• Clothing that exposes too much (muscle shirts, halter tops)

Students who do not comply with the dress code will be asked to change clothing, change into their gym 

strip, or wait while a parent brings a change of clothing. Staff may determine which articles of clothing 

contravene our dress code.
