BETHLEHEM HIGH SCHOOL
DRESS CODE REFERENCE GUIDE

The school uniform is to be worn on each school day unless a special exception has been announced.  It should be neat, clean, pressed and in good repair.  The administration of Bethlehem High School has the right to determine whether the student’s clothing or grooming fits within the school dress code or is distracting.

Slacks:
Plain front khaki pants with embroidered Bethlehem Star Logo.  These are the only pants permitted and they must be purchased at Choice Uniforms. Pants must always have a normal black or brown belt with a normal size belt buckle. No sagging pants are permitted.

Shirts:
Light blue or white knit polo shirts with Bethlehem High School embroidered on the left front of the shirt may have either long or short sleeves. Also, light blue or white oxford cloth shirts with Bethlehem High School embroidered on the left front of the shirt may have long or short sleeves. It is expected that shirt tails will be tucked in during school hours.

Skirts:
Female students may also wear a plaid uniform skirt. We ask parents to keep in mind that the skirts should be no shorter than three inches above the knee, front and back. No long legged apparel may be worn under skirts in the school building. Students who wear long-legged apparel under their skirts to and from school must wear blue or grey long-legged apparel. Students may not wear long-legged apparel under skirts to church services. When the weather is too cold for skirts, female students should wear uniform pants.

Sweater/Sweatshirt:
Students may wear a navy blue crew neck sweater/sweatshirt with the Bethlehem High School embroidered on the left side.  The sweater and sweatshirt may be purchased at Choice Uniforms.

Other Clothing Guidelines – See Handbook

Out-of-Uniform Days – See Handbook

Spirit Days – Those who desire may wear a Bethlehem “spirit” shirt as their outside shirt (such as T-shirts for the district ball game championship, the play, class picnic, etc. or athletic related warm-ups including jackets.) Uniform pants or skirts must be worn. Those not wearing a school “spirit” shirt or warm-up must wear a uniform. All general rules apply.

Team Spirit Days – On special occasions teams may request a “team spirit day” limited to two per regular season.  On “team spirit days” the entire team must wear the same jerseys, warm-up shirts or T-shirts with their uniform pants or skirts. All other rules apply.

Uniform Infractions – Students will wear proper uniform clothing each school day unless exceptions are made by the administration. Parents will be called and the student not wearing proper clothing will be sent home to change. We expect parents to support our uniform guidelines.
