Dress Code
Students must wear modest and appropriate clothing to Hallstrom. The goal of our dress code is two-fold: clothing that is modest and clothing that does not distract from an academic atmosphere. We do not strive for conformity but rather unity emphasizing flexibility. This is why we have a dress code rather than a non-flexible expensive uniform requirement.
It is the responsibility of each student to follow the dress code. It is the responsibility of each parent to be sure his/her student is in compliance with the dress code every week. Don’t allow your children to put a Board member in the difficult and uncomfortable position of having to make a judgment call about their clothing. If you or they are uncertain about their clothing before coming to Hallstrom, change into something you are certain falls within the dress code. The Board commits to do our diligence in fairly enforcing the dress code. Whether students and parents agree with every part of the dress code, adherence is ultimately a heart issue.
