Students are expected to come to school in appropriate attire for school activities, keeping the Jewish value of tzniyut (modesty). Neither boys nor girls may wear hairstyles that are extreme. Body piercing and tattooing violate school policy. Clothes that are "see-through", too baggy, too tight, too revealing, or too tattered are not acceptable. Clothing and/or jewelry with profanity, violence, suggestive content, or drug-related sayings, symbols or pictures, including references to tobacco and alcohol, are prohibited.
Because some interpretation and judgment in these matters is sometimes necessary, the administration of the school will be the final decision-maker regarding "acceptability", and reserves the right to send a student home if it deems that clothing choices are inappropriate.
Dress Code A: Daily Attire
Students are expected to dress in a modest fashion that does not violate the value of tzniyut.
