Students must wear a Promise Prep quarter zip, t-shirt, crew neck sweater, or polo. If a student chooses to wear an undershirt, it must be white or black. Shirts should be the appropriate size, fitting the student without being tight or too big. No hoodies allowed.

All students must wear plain, khaki-colored bottoms that would be appropriate to wear in a professional workplace. This means that very loose pants, baggy pants or very tight pants are not acceptable. Bottoms should fit snugly on the waist without a belt, but if needed, a plain black or brown belt should be worn. During warm-weather months, the principal will let parents/guardians know when students can wear plain, khaki-colored shorts that are no shorter than one inch from the knee. Instead of pants, students may choose to wear a long, plain, khaki-colored skirt with tights or shorts underneath. All skirts should go at least four inches below the knee. The school has the authority to determine what pants, shorts, or skirts are acceptable.

Students must also wear closed-toed, flat-soled shoes daily. We ask that students wear shoes with a rubber sole instead of dress shoes in order for students to be prepared for recess and gym without having to change shoes daily. Students should wear plain white or black socks (or tights with skirts).

Students may not wear jackets inside the school building. If a student is worried about being cold inside the building, they should wear a uniform sweater, a long sleeve (black or white) shirt with no hood under their uniform shirt, or a black or white cardigan with no hood over their uniform shirt.

Students may wear modest jewelry; however, if the jewelry becomes a distraction from learning for the student or others, the teacher will ask the student to remove it. The school is not responsible for lost jewelry.

Students are not allowed to wear hats, scarves, sweatbands or bandanas in the building. Small clips or bands for the hair are permitted. Head-coverings for religious reasons are permitted. Hats worn inside the building will be taken from students and stored at the front desk for parent(s)/guardian(s) to pick up.

Make-up (lipstick, glitter, blush, eyeshadow, etc.) is strictly not allowed. Lip gloss is not permitted. Students may use Chapstick or other similar non-glossy lip moisturizers, but if the application of it becomes distracting to the learning process, the student will not be allowed to use it.

Promise Prep will periodically allow students a “dress down” or “dress up” day as an incentive for positive behavior and/or to celebrate positive achievements (e.g., academic achievement, school pride, and cultural diversity). Schools will provide families with specific guidance around the dress code for scheduled “dress down” or “dress up” days.

Students go outside to play most days, except in certain instances where it is raining or particularly cold. Please ensure that your child has the proper attire they need to stay comfortable and warm outside.
