Dress Code

The International Academy of Macomb takes pride in its students and expects they will dress in attire that reflects the high quality of its program.  Students should dress for success with a focus on Business Casual.  No “questionable” attire should be considered and the following attire is prohibited:

• Indecent, tattered or unsafe dress or footwear, or attire that calls undue attention to the wearer or has lettering or symbols that are disrespectful  or derogatory;

• Clothing that is considered disruptive or immodest;

• Flip-flops, beachwear, low-cut tank tops, sleeveless tops, tops with cutouts, see-through clothing, short skirts (more than two inches above the knee), short shorts (more than two inches above the knee), sleepwear, and clothing exposing undergarments, the shoulders, mid-section or cleavage;

• Baggy pants, jeans with holes, sweats, athletic shorts/slacks and tights or leggings worn as slacks;

• Outerwear, such as coats, hats and headbands;

• Clothing that promotes illegal substances or drugs, illegal activities, violence, sex, tobacco or alcohol;

• Clothing or head coverings worn as group identifiers that promote a disruptive school climate; and

• Accessories such as bike chains, dog chains, wallet chains and sharp-studded jewelry that may be deemed dangerous.

Off-Campus Attire

Students should be prepared to be appropriately attired for visiting out-of-school sites as part of their International Academy of Macomb experience.  Business attire is appropriate; blue jeans and gym shoes are not appropriate.
