Dress Down Day Tuesday, September 13th

Quick Appearance Code Reminders: 

  • Altering hair color is against the SHS student appearance code policy.  This includes peek a boo hair coloring and coloring of the ends or tips of hair.  If you have any questions or need further clarification see Dr. Burdick or Mrs. Manning. 
  • Skirts and Shorts must be no more than 5” above the knee when kneeling. Shorts are NOT to be rolled. To provide adequate time to order skirts, we will begin assigning fines on 9/19 for any students not in compliance with the length requirement.

Tuesday 9/13 is Paid Dress Down Day for ALL GRADES! Students must donate a minimum of $1 to dress down. Homeroom teachers will collect the donations and make note of students who did not pay. Those students are expected to be in full uniform all day. 

Just a reminder of the expectations for paid dress day: 

  • Students may wear shirts with print/pictures as long as there is no profanity, sexually suggestive theme, rude or disrespectful theme, or the promotion of the use of alcohol, drugs, or tobacco. Shirts must have a conservative neckline, midriffs/shoulders must be covered. Shirts must be long enough to cover the midriff when arms are extended upward. Sleeveless shirts or dresses, tank tops, spaghetti straps, and tops with revealing necklines or those that allow undergarments to be visible are not permitted. Shirts should not be longer than the student’s shorts. 
  • All pants & jeans & shorts are to be neat and clean with no rips, holes, or frays. 
  • Pajama pants, leggings, yoga pants, tight athletic pants, and spandex/spanx like material are not permitted. 
  • All shorts or skirts/skorts/dresses (girls only) may be no more than 5” from the top of the knee. 
  • Footwear that is sturdy closed-toe/closed-heeled is required. Sandals and crocs of any fashion are not permitted (including during warm-weather season and out of uniform days). Regulations for footwear remain the same as on regular dress code days.
  • Students are expected to be in modest and appropriate attire on non-uniform days.
