24. What is the dress code at Explorers?
First of all, rest assured that no one will be going around the hallways constantly scanning for dress code infringements, or directing students to "tuck in those shirts" just to prove that they can be tucked. We do not have to act like a police state to maintain the dress code at its highest level.
Dress code infringements will probably be quite obvious, and, when noted, instructors/parents, the team leaders, and if necessary the administrator, will enforce the dress code policy when appropriate. Let's just rest easy, and enjoy one another's fellowship and great classes. Sufficient enforcement is usually just a mention to a student.
o Shorts and skirts should reach at least the fingertips when arms are hanging at the side.
o Shirts should be of a length that can easily be tucked into pants or skirt. No midriff should be exposed.
o No cleavage, bare backs, completely exposed shoulders, or underwear should be visible.
o Shirts, tops, and dresses may be sleeveless, BUT no tank tops, or forms of dress that sport spaghetti / halter straps. Tank tops: defined as those sleeveless shirts that have bands that partially cover the shoulders, with a scoop neck, and usually/but not always, fit somewhat snuggly to the body. Acceptable sleeveless (some examples): a sleeveless top with a collar, a sleeveless mock - T., a collarless but button down or partial button top.
o No T-shirts advertising alcohol, sex, or negative messages.
o All pants should be worn in a modest manner to insure that no underwear, bare bellies, or bottoms are visible.
