The school uniform includes a school shirt and dark blue pants or jeans that are adjustable and comfortable, preferably without shoelaces. On days with physical education, students wear the PE uniform (T-shirt, shorts, jacket, pants) and a pair of tennis shoes. Dresses, skirts, sandals, jewelry, accessories, nail polish, colored pants and high-heeled shoes are not allowed; girls should have their hair tied, and boys with long hair should have their hair tied. If a student is not in the appropriate uniform, parents supply the uniform and the student may not attend class until compliant.
