Attire for balls - Men: dress shirts, ties & slacks; Ladies: knee-length dresses/skirts, modest necklines, no strapless tops, halter tops, or spaghetti straps; Shoes: Clean athletic shoes on the floor only. No dress shoes or high heels.  Logos Balls are for Logos students only.

Elementary Dress Uniform: The first day of school will be a dress uniform day (see here for details).  Students will not need to wear their dress uniforms on Friday of the first week. Dress uniform days will occur only once a week due to laundering considerations.
