Dress code bottoms include jeans, khaki-style pants, and shorts/skirts of appropriate length and style per the district dress code guidelines. Dress code tops include collared shirts and spirit shirts. Athletic shorts, sweatpants, sleeveless tops, T-shirts that are not spirit shirts, leggings (unless under a skirt/shorts), etc. are not allowed.
