Dress Code

Oak Grove Academy will follow the Forest Grove High School dress code, which is as follows:

Dress and grooming studies have shown that the attire of students has an important influence on the attitude toward learning within any school. What students wear to school should reflect the serious purpose of education. Dress and grooming of the students rests primarily with the student and parents. However, any dress, grooming or appearance that disrupts or tends to disrupt the educational process or affects the health or safety of our school is prohibited. Students will be asked to change for the remainder of the day. Examples of unacceptable dress include but are not limited to:

1. Immodest clothing: bare midriff or backless tops, strapless, single strap or halter top, sagging pants which show underwear. Skirts/ shorts must be modest and mid-thigh in length.

2. Clothing that indicates membership in or support for youth gangs including: colors, headbands, hats, hairnets or do-rags.
