  or sweat shirts) must be a solid color of white, black, purple, yellow/gold, or khaki (tan/beige). Note that 
  this does not pertain to heavy coats worn to school during cold weather.  Heavy coats of any color,
  weight, or style may be worn to school, but they must be stored during the day.

Other Considerations
*Oversized, undersized, and skintight garments are not allowed.

Outer Garments

Outer garments worn in the building (such as vests, sweaters, light jackets, or sweat shirts) must be a solid color of white, black, purple, yellow/gold, or khaki. Note that this does not pertain to heavy coats worn to school during cold weather.  Heavy coats of any color, weight, or style may be worn to school, but they must be stored during the day.

The outer garments shown below are examples of those appropriate for school wear during the school day.   As with shirts, small logos are allowed, but large logos that extend across the garmet are not allowed.  The only exception to this is school spirit wear such as hoodies.  These may have larger Hanes logos as long as they are in the appropriate colors.
