Dress Code:
 
Dress codes do far more than ensure neatness! The goal of the SKS school community in establishing a dress code is to enhance the lifestyle of all our members. In developing shared values for dress, we establish shared valves in manners and conduct, too.

Appropriate Dress:

• Tops - The Storm King School contracts with uniform companies to provide us with a school-approved line of attractive and affordable tops complete with our school crest. These are the only tops that students may wear during the academic day. They can be purchased directly from these companies. We also have on-hand a small supply, for emergencies, in the Mom's Store. Midriffs and bellybuttons must not be exposed, and T-shirts may not be visible below an SKS waist or sleeve cuff.
• Pants - They must be cotton, wool, rayon or corduroy in black, navy or other color that is not distracting and is suitable for a school environment. Pants must be clean, neat and fit properly.
• Shorts and Skirts - Black, navy or khaki skirts are permitted with hemlines not more than two inches above the knee.
• Shoes - Shoes must be clean and in good condition with no holes.
• Formal Dinners & Special Events - Male students are required to wear a navy blue or black blazer, dress shirt, tie, dress pants and shoes. Female students are required to wear a navy blue blazer, dress skirt & top, dress pantsuit or dinner dress.
  

Inappropriate Dress:

• Pants - Denim of any color, cargo pants, stretch pants, sweatpants or wind pants. Visible underwear due to improperly fitting pants.
• Shorts and Skirts - Mini shorts/skirts.
• Hats - Hats are not to be worn in any academic building—which includes the Art Center, Library, Theater, and Cafeteria—at any time of day. Students are permitted to wear winter hats only when the weather is cold. No other head covering is allowed during the academic day—this includes baseball hats, dewrags, bandannas, etc.
