Dress Code
Dress Code:
AMS’ dress code is designed with the intent of providing
equity among genders and no longer disproportionately
targeting the female body. We also believe in shifting decision
making around the appropriateness of clothing to parents and
guardians. The school’s role in the dress code is to provide a
safe and inclusive learning environment.
A student whose attire is not appropriate for school will be
asked to change into P.E. or loaner clothes. Spare t-shirts
and/or sweats may be borrowed from the school office.
Students Must Wear:
- A shirt with fabric in the front, back, on the sides and
under the arms AND - Pants/jeans or the equivalent (i.e. shorts, dresses, skirts) AND
- Shoes
Students May Wear:
- Religious headwear
- Hats facing forward or backward as long as face is
visible at teacher discretion - Fitted pants, leggings, etc.
- Tank tops and spaghetti straps
- Athletic attire
- Ripped jeans, as long as underwear and buttocks
aren’t exposed
Students Cannot Wear:
- Violent language or images
- Images or language depicting drugs, alcohol or illegal
items/activities - Hate speech, profanity, nudity or sexually explicit
images - Images or language that create a hostile/intimidating
learning environment - Clothing that is transparent
- Visible undergarments, except for straps
- Swimsuits
- Pajamas
- Accessories that could be considered dangerous or used as a weapon
- Hoodies; any item that obscures the face or ears should not be worn during class
