Tag Day Dress Guidelines
Occasionally students will have Tag Day fundraisers to benefit local charities and causes during which students can purchase a “tag” for $2.00 and dress out of uniform for that day. Students have the option to pay a one-time fee of $50.00 to cover the entire year. There are usually 25-30 tag days each year. On these days, a certain level of decorum, neatness, and modesty is necessary. It is with these ideas in mind that students may wear attire that meets the following standards:
Jeans, slacks, khaki-style shorts, skirts, and capris: students may wear these so long as they are neat and modest in appearance. ALL SHORTS OR SKIRTS WORN BY STUDENTS ON TAG DAYS MUST CLEARLY EXCEED THE FINGERTIPS IN LENGTH. Students may wear athletic-style pants (sweatpants) or shorts, yoga pants, or spandex.
Students may wear casual-style shirts, t-shirts, sweatshirts, or sweaters. Shirts must also be neat and modest in appearance. Sleeveless, spaghetti straps, shirts that expose the midriff, or shirts that are deemed excessively tight or revealing may not be worn. Tattoos may not be displayed on Tag Days.
Clothing may not have slogans or images that are contrary to the mission or values of the school (vulgarity, alcohol, drugs, violence, or insensitivity (e.g. Communist symbols, Swastika)).
Casual shoes may be worn, such as sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, and boots.
Some elements of dress may never be worn.
- tank tops
- cut-off frayed jean shorts
- hats
- sunglasses
- hoods.
Students who are dressed in a manner that does not meet these expectations will be asked to change. It is the responsibility of the faculty to evaluate dress each day and therefore the judgment of faculty in terms of neatness and modesty is final in these matters.
