Dress Down Days

Appropriate attire is expected on Dress-Down Days. Most Dress-Down Days will have a theme attached to them and students are expected to adhere to the theme in order to be out of uniform. Dress-Down Day clothing must be in good condition and worn at the natural waistline. Swimwear is never allowed except on Physical Education Field Days.
