A dress “down” day would include tennis shoes, jeans, and sweat pants or other below the knee pants. At all times, bare mid-drifts, spaghetti straps, too-short skirts, and pants with holes are considered inappropriate for school attire. Students may also be in “dress down” attire on certain field trips. Teachers will notify students and parents of these days.
