Student Dress Code

Student Dress Code

Stoneybrooke students wear uniforms every school day unless a special dress day has been announced.

Uniforms can be purchased through a local Uniform Store, Uniforms4U. They are located at 31531 Rancho Viejo Rd #103, San Juan Capistrano, CA 92675, Phone (949) 488-2616.

Modesty in dress is one of the reasons that the dress code came into existence. Students should adhere not only to the dress code but also to the spirit of the code. Pants (boys and girls) need to be worn at the hip level so as not to allow any undergarments to be seen when sitting down or bending over. It is inappropriate for students to wear clothing to school (the uniform or casual clothing) which would allow other students to view these under garments or bare skin.
