• Dress Code From Mr. Hayut: In terms of clothes, the dress code is as it was last spring, for the most part. Shoes should be close-toed, unless they're heels in which case though if the student is doing a dance/movement for the concert they should consider not wearing them. Dresses are great! Pants should be nice, either dress pants or cream colored/khakis, long or short, as long as it isn't sweats, gym shorts, or ripped jeans. Tops should be either button ups or polos, nothing with any designs (unless wearing a GHCDS polo). Colors accepted are lighter/warmer spring colors (or black/white), so greens, blues, pinks, yellows, even some reds. If you are concerned or unsure if your child's outfit matches the dress code, let me know!
