Dress Code
DRESS CODE
The school is responsible for seeing that student attire does not interfere with the health or safety of any student, that student attire does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating atmosphere for any student, and that dress code implementation does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household income, or body type/size.
Longley Way does not have a formal uniform policy. Dress code expectations can be found below.
Expectations:
1. All clothing should offer free range of motion while not exposing undergarments or private body parts at all times. All tops must have straps. See-through tops and midriffs are prohibited.
2. Swimwear and full-length pajamas are inappropriate attire and are prohibited on campus.
