RULES FOR DRESS-UP DAYS
For every day except Friday, at least one accessory should be worn or “in hand” to receive credit. Students must also at least wear a top that is appropriate for the day to receive credit.
Classes earn Spirit Points based on percentage when students dress up in the manner supportive of that day. If a student is wearing a uniform top, that student can only wear a uniform bottom and uniform jacket. Friday is designated as a T-Shirt Day. Such a day is set aside to encourage class and school
unity. On this day, students can wear blue jeans or a uniform bottom with the assigned top. Only the top counts for Spirit Points on these days. Students should wear covered shoes.
The following things are not allowed:
Unapproved shorts
Tank-tops only
Underwear on the Outside
See-through or form-fitting clothing
Holes or frayed clothing
Showing skin off the shoulder
Hair coloring
Showing cleavage
Cross-dressing
Questionable advertisements, pictures or wording
Shorts worn on these days must be knee-length, preferably HBA-like shorts, walking shorts, or Bermuda shorts. Slippers, knee-length basketball shorts, and knee-length board shorts are only allowed when they are designated in advance as appropriate for a given day.
Don’t forget our other pre-existing rules, too:
Covered shoes must be worn (in addition to saying “no slippers”)
No earrings for boys or any other piercings for boys and girls
No exposed tattoos
No extreme hairstyles such as mohawks, extreme fohawks, shaved heads, or shaved heads with patterns
Natural hair color or a shade off until the assembly
No exposed midriff or cleavage.
Other Important Things to Note
Pepper Squad Dress-Up Day Allowances will be decided between class councils and the Student Council prior to Pepper Squad Dress-Up Day.
Student dress deemed inappropriate will count against their grade level’s daily percentage for Spirit Points.
