Tag Day!

Occasionally students will have Tag Day fundraisers to benefit local charities and causes, during which students can purchase a “tag”  dress out of uniform for the day. Tag day passes for the year will be sold during the first weeks of school for $50.00.  Students may purchase a tag the week of the dress down for $2.00.  Students must purchase a tag in advance [before the first period Friday] in order to dress down on the day.  On these days a certain level of decorum, neatness, and modesty is necessary.  It is with these ideals in mind that students may wear attire that meets the following standards.

 

Guidelines

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 who wear shorts/skirts that are not in accordance with this expectation will be asked to change.

 

Students may wear athletic-style pants for shorts, yoga pants, or spandex.  Jeans may be torn but not in an excessive manner (gaping holes), NOR MAY STUDENTS WEAR JEAN SHORTS THAT ARE CUT AND FRAYED.

Students may wear casual-style t-shirts, sweatshirts, or sweaters that are neat and modest in appearance.  Sleeveless, spaghetti straps, shirts that expose the midriff, or tops deemed excessively tight or revealing may not be worn.  Clothing may not have slogans, images or promote values that are contrary to the mission of the school (vulgarity, alcohol, drugs, drug paraphernalia, violence, or insensitivity (Communist or Fascist symbols, Swastika)).  

 

Casual shoes may be worn, such as sneakers, sandals, flip-flops, clogs, and boots.  

Some elements of dress may never be worn. This includes tank tops, hats, sunglasses, and hoods. 

 

It is the responsibility of the faculty to evaluate dress each day and therefore the judgment of the faculty in terms of neatness and modesty is final in these matters.
