Modesty Guidelines

• Avoid tight-fitting or low-cut tops

• Sleeveless shirts/ tank-tops are never permitted

• Tight jeans, or pants with holes, tears or rips are not appropriate

• Shorts and skirts may be no shorter than two inches above the knee

• Leggings worn as pants or leggings worn with skirts that are shorter than 2-inches above the knee are not appropriate (Leggings may only be worn with skirts or dresses of the appropriate listed length)

• Sheer skirts/dresses that are long in length with a solid skirt underneath that is more than two inches above the knee are not appropriate

• All logos, graphics, words/phrases or other writing must be appropriate for a Christian school environment, in other words, carry positive messages and be in line with Biblical standards. Certain graphics, including gargoyles, skulls, wizards, vampires, and other graphics of this nature are not appropriate for school.
