For most field trips, the general dress code specifications above will apply. At the discretion of the Campus Director, exceptions may be made for specific types of field trips such as a visit to a swimming pool or a ski resort.

Free Dress Days are given at the discretion of the Campus Principal. However, students must adhere to the same standard as a regular school dress day when it comes to covering the body (ie. no shoulders or skin showing that would be covered on a regular school dress day).

School Picture Day is used to have student photos for Aspire and for yearbooks. As such, students who are not following Dress Code, will need to participate in Retake Day. Hats, costume ears, stuffed animals and toys, or any other items that are not allowed on a regular school dress day, are not allowed for School Picture Day. 

Spring Picture Day will follow the same guidelines as a Free Dress Day.

The campus principal will use their discretion to determine if an employee's attire is appropriate for the workplace. However, school employees are expected to dress professionally at all times while on campus, including:

• no flip-flop or casual sandals (for safety, shoes should cover the toes and have a back or strap for the heel) 
• no t-shirts (except on designated Spirit Dress Days or Free Dress Days)
• no blue jeans (except on designated Spirit Dress Days or Free Dress Days)
• no sweat or track pants (except on designated Spirit Dress Days or Free Dress Days)
• no shorts
• no hats
• no pants that are torn, ripped, or frayed
