Dress Code

DRESS DOWN DAY GUIDELINES 

In the event we have a dress down day, students must adhere to the following guidelines: 

• T-shirts that have written logos or slogans must be appropriate; alcohol or tobacco advertisements on clothing are not permitted. 

• Tattered jeans, even if deliberately shredded or torn should not reveal skin more than four inches above the knee. 

• Leggings, jeggings, and yoga pants may be worn as long as the shirt covers the student’s rear-end and they are not see through. 

• Jeans and pants must be worn at the waist. 

• Shorts, skirts and dresses must not be any shorter than a student’s fingertips when his/her arms are held straight at the sides (approximately 4 inches). 

• Shirts and tops should cover the chest and stomach area completely. Tops or dresses with thin straps or tank tops are not allowed. Must have sleeves. 

• No cropped shirts. 

• Clothing should be worn with appropriate underclothing and undergarments should not be visible. 

• Straight leg jeans are acceptable, but clothing must fit appropriately. Pants or tops that are too tight are not allowed. 

• No pajama pants or slippers are allowed. 

  The RRMS principal may waive any of these rules on special days declaring special rules for that day.
