Students for Social Justice members lead a discussion about the dress code, led by presidents sophomores Alena Porter and Claire Walsh (standing on left). “We are working with [the Upper School Council] and a group of other [students] to change the dress code,” Porter said.

In March, Students for Social Justice discussed the current SPA dress code. Members of the group feel that some of the wording of the dress code is not fairly or appropriately enforced. The group is also discussing the wording of the current code, which includes ambiguous words like “modesty.” The group discusses whether or whether not such words are only directed towards females and if they are very open to interpretation. “We are working with [the Upper School Council] and a group of other [students] to change the dress code,” SSJ president Alena Porter said.
