Dress Code

Dress Code

 A dress code will be implemented at Rivendell in the interest of harmony between students and parents. The students should be modestly dressed in clothes that make them ready to study and in no way draw attention to themselves. We believe the dress code will enhance the atmosphere of the classroom and orderliness of the students. We also believe it is the parent’s responsibility to make sure that their children are dressed appropriately.

Girls

Shirts: Any solid or striped polo or turtleneck. Long sleeved solid colored round necked shirts may be worn underneath polo shirts depending on the weather. No low-cut shirts may be worn.

Blouses: Long, short or ¾ length sleeved blouse with collar. Blouses must be buttoned appropriately.

Jumpers/Skirts: Any jumper or skirt worn at the knee or below. Solid colored tights, or stockings (white, dark or neutral color) may be worn.

Sweaters: Solid-colored sweaters, sweatshirts, or sweater vests accompanied by a turtleneck or collared shirt.

Pants: Solid-colored (navy, black, brown, or khaki/tan) pants, capris, or shorts (must be at the knee). No jeans. No midriff is allowed to be seen at any time.


Boys

Shirts: Solid or striped color polo or turtleneck. Long sleeved solid-colored round necked shirts may also be worn underneath polo shirts depending on the weather.

Dress Shirts: Long or short sleeved dress shirt with collar.

Sweaters: Solid-colored sweaters, sweatshirts, or sweater vests accompanied by a turtleneck or collared shirt.

All

 All: Shirts, blouses, sweaters, and sweatshirts should have no writing on them (small brand logos are acceptable). 
Shoes should be neat and clean. Flip flops are not permitted. No shoes should be worn that draw attention to the student.
Hair should be kept neat and clean and out of the face
Hats are not permitted. And hoods should remain down.

Dialectic and Rhetoric Student Exceptions: Any dialectic or rhetoric student who desires to dress in business attire which has not been listed above (for presentations, or because of personal preference), may do so. Such business attire for girls includes solid-colored or patterned dresses (modest and worn at or below the knee). Business attire for boys includes a shirt and tie or bow-tie and any color or pattern of dress pants or suit jacket (e.g., pin stripes). 

Violations of the dress code will result in the following measures:

First time violations with no other violation of the code of conduct will result in a warning to the

students and an email to the parents. A write up will be placed in the student’s file.


Second violations will result in the student’s removal from class until a parent can bring the proper clothing. A write up will be placed in the student’s file. Subsequent violations will result in the students being suspended from Rivendell for the remainder of the day. If there continues to be a lack of submission to the rules, the student will be asked to leave.
