Uniforms establish a common level of modesty for all students and eliminate some of the most powerful weapons used to fragment school community and unity. All schools have a dress code. The difference is in who establishes it. Be aware that at Geneva all faculty are charged with enforcing the dress code. If a young woman feels awkward about having a male teacher correct her for a uniform violation, she should be careful not to violate the uniform policies.
- BLAZER POLICY ON DRESS UNIFORM DAYS
On Mondays and other specially called Dress Uniform days, students must wear their blazers when arriving to school, walking in between classes and when departing. Students may take off the blazers and place them neatly over their chairs while in class. Also, students may take off their blazers during lunch period. Young men must keep their ties on, and shirts tucked in at all times. DRESS CODE VIOLATIONS
If a student is found with a dress code violation, they will receive an infraction and a lunch detention. Following the third infraction for a dress code violation, students will receive a demerit and be unable to return to class until the violation is corrected. Any work missed as a result of being unable to return to class due to a dress code violation could result in academic penalties.Parents will receive automated email notifications for dress code violations. The email may include the specific dress code violation or indicate how many dress code violations the student has received. It is the student’s and parents’ responsibility to keep track of dress code violations.
