GENERAL PROVISIONS
Students must observe the following provisions for school dress regardless of whether the dress

Clothing should be neat, clean and well cared for
Clothing must be of appropriate size and must be worn modestly

Shoes must be worn with socks or tights
Hair must be clean and well groomed
Boys’ hair must not extend past their eyebrows, the bottoms of their ears, or the bottoms

During cold weather, children may need a heavy coat or jacket (of greater weight and
function than the Ensworth fleece, sweater, or sweatshirt) for recess and travel to
and from school. This outerwear, which includes coats and jackets but does not
include lightweight zip-up garments, may not be worn inside the building.
Only Ensworth sweatshirts and polar fleeces available in the Booster Shop, in addition to
designated uniform sweaters, may be worn in the building during the school day.
Any white, black, orange, or grey undershirt is acceptable, but logos and wording may
not show through shirts.
Long sleeve t-shirts may not be worn under short sleeve uniform shirts.
No hats or caps inside the building
No makeup (except for clear nail polish)
No cologne, aftershave, or perfume
If clothing has belt loops, a belt must be worn
School attire should be worn to school-sponsored events unless otherwise stated.
The school believes that parents will accept what is indeed their responsibility and students will
indicate their respect for the school by living within the guidelines expressed above. The school
will continue to reserve the right to enforce these guidelines as necessary.
Students in violation of the school dress will be required to change into proper attire and be
withheld from attending class until doing so. This may result in the student waiting in the office

until a parent brings proper clothes. Students in violation of the school dress will be sent to the
Division Head, and parents will be notified. After two violations of the school dress in a given
marking period, students will lose the privilege of Casual Dress on the next announced “Casual
Dress” day. Repeat offenders of the School Dress risk further disciplinary consequences.
