| When the uniform regulation is not in effect, students are expected to be in school appropriate attire.
Students may wear skirts or shorts, which are modest (modesty is determined by the Marian faculty/staff). Halter tops, bare midriffs (waist skin should not be visible at any time - stretching, bending or walking), low cut necklines, sleeveless tops, spaghetti straps, or anything that could be considered immodest or not in keeping with school attire may not be worn.
Boots, hiking shoes, sandals (including Birkenstock sandals or tennis/canvas shoes may be worn on non-uniform days. Flip-flops may not be worn. (Flip-flops are defined as footware fastened to the foot by a thong strap between the toes and no back strap.)
If in doubt about any particular style or piece of clothing, the rule of thumb is, "Do Not Wear it."
