    Style and color of shoes may be chosen by the student as long as it follows all dress code rules and doesn’t distract from the learning of others. No wheels, heels, open-toed shoes, or shoes with foam-based soles (e.g. Crocs) for safety reasons.  Athletic shoes are recommended for comfort and physical education. It is preferred that shoes not have black soles since black-soled shoes cannot be worn in P.E. class. At all times, shoes should be tied or fastened in the manner for which they are designed.
    Socks and leggings must be a solid, school-approved color.
