Dress Code

With the onset of colder weather, we are making minor changes to our dress code. The changes below go into effect on Monday, December 7. Please note that students in the Foundations Program do not have to follow the standard Eagle Hill dress code, but should dress for the cooler weather.

• Students will no longer be able to wear shorts. Khaki/chino/corduroy pants must be worn with a belt.
• Skirts are dress code appropriate but must be worn with leggings underneath (not shorts).
• All students must wear sneakers or closed-toe shoes.
• Upper School students must wear long sleeve collared shirts (button down or long sleeved polo-style shirts). Blouses are also acceptable dress code items for girls.
