Dress Code

Magruder students are expected to wear clothes that are suitable for school activities and dress in a manner that is supportive of a positive learning environment and follows the guidelines below: 

  • Clothes must fully cover genitals, breasts, buttocks, midriff, and underwear at all times.  
  • Closed-toe shoes and socks must be worn at all times. Tennis or athletic shoes are required for physical education. Crocs, clogs, flip-flops, and slippers are not allowed to be worn on campus. 
  • Sunglasses, hats, caps, beanies, and other sun-protective head coverings must not be worn indoors. 
  • Clothing and personal items (e.g. backpacks, bags, water bottles) must not present a health or safety hazard, include any discriminatory words pictures, or messages; depict pornography, nudity, or sexual acts; or cause a substantial disruption to the educational program. 
  • Clothing and personal items must be free from any insignia which bear drug, alcohol, or tobacco company advertising or likenesses, or which advocate racial, ethnic, sexual orientation, or religious intolerance.

Magruder may establish reasonable dress and grooming regulations for times when students are engaged in certain sports and/or classes, extracurricular or other special school activities. 

Students who do not reasonably conform to the dress code will be asked to correct their violations and may be asked to change their attire. When practical, students shall not be directed to correct a dress code violation during instructional time or in front of other students. Repeated violations or refusal to comply with Magruder’s dress code may result in disciplinary action.
