• Student Dress:  Orange Grove is a dress code school. All students are required to follow Orange Grove’s dress code policy:

    Elementary Dress Code:

    • Acceptable colors for uniform tops are red, white, light blue, navy, and black. Undershirts must be school colors as well.
    • Acceptable colors for uniform bottoms are khaki, navy, and black.
    • Leggings may be worn under dresses, skirts, shorts, or skorts. They must be solid color red, black, navy, white, or grey. 
    • The dress code consists of pants, skirts, skorts, jumpers, or shorts.
    • Collared shirts that are red, white, light blue, navy, or black (plain or with OG logo only) and spirit shirts are allowed. Undershirts must be school colors as well.
    • Pants must be slacks – no sweatpants will be permitted. 
    • Girls may wear blouses without collars.
    • Any shirt provided by Orange Grove may be worn as a uniform.  

    Middle Dress Code (as seen in the 2022-23 Code of Conduct):

    Colors for appropriate tops are red, white, light blue, navy, and black. Undershirts must be school colors as well.

    • Colors for appropriate bottoms are grey, red, white, khaki, navy, and black. 

    • Leggings may be worn under dresses, skirts, shorts, or skorts. They must be a solid color: black, red, navy, white, or grey. 

    • The dress code consists of pants, skirts, skorts, jumpers, or shorts. 

    • Leggings/yoga pants may only be worn with shorts/skirts over them. 

    • Collared shirts that are red, white, light blue, navy, or black (plain or with OG logo only) are allowed. 

    • Pants must be slacks – no sweatpants will be permitted. 

    • Girls may wear blouses without collars. 

    • Any shirt provided by Orange Grove may be worn as a uniform. 

    • No spaghetti straps at any time. 

    • To assure modesty, the length of shorts, skirts, etc. must at least reach the fingertips if shoulders are relaxed. Shorts and skirts must be this length or longer, even with leggings underneath. 

    • No jeans/pants/shorts may be worn that have rips, tears, or holes that expose skin above fingertip length. 

    • Tops, with the exception of OG hoodies and athletic t-shirts, are to be tucked in. 

    • West Ashley High School shirts and hoodies are permitted. 

    • Clothing must fit appropriately. Pants and shorts will be worn at the waist. Clothing must not be too loose or too tight as deemed by administration. 

    • Health laws require students to wear shoes at all times. To prevent accidents, students should avoid wearing shoes that slide off easily. Open-toed are acceptable but not recommended. All shoes must have a back or ankle strap. Flip flops, backless sandals (i.e.- Jack Rogers), bedroom shoes including slipper boots, and shoes with wheels are not permitted. Shoes with laces must be tied at all times. Athletic shoes are the most appropriate footwear for safety and comfort on campus. 

    • Orange Grove athletes will be in professional attire as described by coaches and administration on game days. Sleeveless, see-through, or mesh tops (basketball tank tops, football jerseys, cheerleading tops) must be worn with an appropriate shirt underneath. 

    • ¼ zip pullovers are permitted in school colors. 

    • Anything full-zip is considered a jacket and is not to be worn in school.  

    Out of dress code notices should be given by the teacher for the first and second offenses. The third offense should be sent to the office. There are two exceptions to the uniform policy: 

    • Style Day: Students pay $1 and can show their style provided they are dressed in a manner appropriate for school (pants worn correctly, nothing revealing or obscene). Pajamas are prohibited even on style day.

    • Field Trips: Students may be out of dress code only if teachers and the office have approved a dress change for the trip. 

    The administration has the discretion to determine proper or improper dress. Students who are found to be in violation of the dress code are subject to disciplinary action.
