High School Dress Code
Boys and Girls High School Dress Code
AEF Schools requires a dress code for students.
We believe that a dress code:
Fosters school spirit and community identity
Helps the student develop pride in his or her appearance
Prepares the student for the personal grooming requirements and accepted manner of dress of society in general
Mitigates against the destructive and costly competition among students engendered by fads in dress and style
Reduces clothing expenses for parents
Helps to focus the student’s attention on schoolwork by using clothing to differentiate between school time and other leisure pursuits
* All clothing should be clearly marked with student’s name on the inside tag.
* Wearing an AEF sweater etc. does not exempt a student from wearing an AEF collared shirt
* Pants/shorts must be worn above the waist
* Solid colored T-shirts may be worn underneath the polo shirts
* Solid colored long sleeves may be worn underneath the polo shirts

Seniors and juniors at AEF High School have the opportunity to earn “Permanent Dress Down” after a set amount of time if the proper requirements are met.
To Earn “Dress Down” a student must:
Wear their school uniform every day with zero infractions:
~ Seniors: at the end of the first semester
~ Juniors: at the end of quarter 3
Must maintain a 2.3 GPA or higher in all classes as well as an 80% in organizational skills
Must have neat and tidy grooming at all times:
~ Hair brushed neatly and/or tied back
~ Fingernails cut to an acceptable length
~ Facial hair shaved or well groomed
Once a student has earned “Permanent Dress Down” they must maintain all of the above requirements along with the dress code listed, or this privilege will be removed for a minimum of two weeks.
Remember “Dress Down” is a privilege, not a right.
“Dress Down” Dress Code Requirements:
Shirts: Single color t-shirts, collared shirts, and appropriate shirts and blouses. Sleeveless shirts, tank tops, and graphic t-shirts are not permitted.
Pants: Pants / Jeans shall be worn so that the waistband is worn at the waist and not below the waist. Rips or tears are not permitted.
