Students and parents are required to dress properly according to the Islamic dress code. School uniforms must be worn to school. The requirements are as follows:
BOYS (all grades): Light blue polo style shirt and blue pants, white socks, closed-toed shoes. Jeans, sweat pants, sports shirts i.e. “Under Armor” shirts and jewelry of any kind is not allowed. Brown, navy blue, or white rubber bottom shoes are acceptable.
GIRLS (all grades): Light blue polo style shirt, navy jacket/cardigan, navy pants, white scarves, blue jalbabs, white socks, closed-toed shoes (no high heels). Jeans, sweat pants, sports shirts (i.e.“Under Armor” shirts), makeup and jewelry of any kind are not allowed. The girls can wear any color jalbab and scarf on MONDAY only. Brown, navy blue, or white rubber bottom shoes are acceptable.
GIRLS (4th & up): In addition to the above, girls in all grade levels are encouraged to observe hijab but those in grade 4 and up must wear a scarf properly so that no hair shows, as well as full-sleeve blouses.
For boys and girls, the school attire should be selected with modesty in mind and should be loose fitting and comfortable. All girls coming to Darul Arqam School are encouraged to wear a scarf to start good Islamic habits. Teachers are responsible to enforce the dress code and are expected to be good examples themselves.
Hair should be clean and well groomed. Half shaved or shaven designs of hair are not acceptable at Darul Arqam. Students who come to school in violation of the reasonable Islamic standards of length and modesty of their clothing will have to correct the dress violation. The class time missed will be an inexcusable absence. The Principal will determine what is appropriate. Ladies are requested to cover themselves properly when they come in to pick up their children.
