Your appearance reflects not only on you as an individual but on the school as a whole. Employees are expected to take pride in their appearance and always present a professional, business-like image, when representing the company. Employees who report to work inappropriately dressed or groomed may be asked to leave work, without pay, and return properly attired or groomed.
All clothing should be clean, pressed and professional looking. Guidelines for tasteful business casual attire are as follows:
Women: Business casual slacks or dress pants, sweaters, blouses, jackets, skirts or dresses. Nylons are recommended when wearing skirts, but not required. Belts are required when belt-looped slacks are worn. Denim attire is not allowed.
Men: Business casual slacks or dress pants, shirts, jackets and sweaters. Shirts must have collars and be worn tucked in. Belts are required when belt-looped slacks are worn. Denim attire is not allowed.
