Dress Code

It has been our experience that good behavior and academic success normally accompany good grooming. In order to
prevent a situation which could cause embarrassment on the part of the students, every effort should be made to see that
good grooming habits are followed and that the dress conforms to Islamic standards and the School Dress Code/ Uniform
Policy.

Students who come to school out of Uniform in any way will be sent to the office to await their parents arrival with
appropriate clothing or accessories. Chronic and serious violations will be addressed by the administration on a case-bycase basis. The administration will determine whether students are complying with the dress code and may ban other
items or practices considered generally inconsistent with the intent of this policy.

Your support of these guidelines helps to ensure that our students are comfortable and safe. Thank you for your support
of our School Dress Code/Uniform Policy.
