Hair — A student’s hair must reflect one’s image as a ben Torah. The
hair should be kept short and even with the same basic length all the
way around the entire head. Extreme care should be taken regarding
the halachic length of the payos. If a student’s payos are deemed too
short to be halachically acceptable, the student will be suspended for
3 days and will be barred from all extracurricular activities until his
hair is halachically acceptable. One’s facial hair must reflect that of a
Ben Torah as well. As such, no facial hair that is deemed
inappropriate by an Administrator may be grown or styled.
Tzitzis — The wearing of tzitzis is mandatory for all FYHS students.
A student not wearing tzitzis will be asked to put on tzitzis or buy a
pair in the office. If a student must buy a pair, a non-refundable charge
will be added to the family FACTS account.
Headwear — A kippah must always be worn. A kippah or baseball
cap must always be worn during sports activities. Baseball hats, ski
caps, or any other type of sports cap may only be worn outside the
building.
Accessories — Neck chains, bracelets, or other forms of jewelry are
not permitted. Smartwatches are always prohibited on campus.
Regular wristwatches may be worn.
Shabbos and Yom Tov
To enhance the sanctity of Shabbos and Yom Tov, all students must wear
dress shoes, dress slacks, dress shirt, and a tie or jacket on Shabbos.
Wearing a suit is strongly encouraged but not mandatory.
All students, local and out of town, off campus or on, are expected to adhere
to the dress code.
HONESTY
The Torah sets very high standards for honesty, which we must always strive
to achieve. Dishonesty will not be tolerated. A first cheating offense will result
in an “F” for that assignment, a notation of cheating will be made on the
student’s permanent high school transcript, and parents will be notified. A
second offense will result in a “F” for the quarter, and a third offense will
result in a “F” for the semester. Students may not use AI or any online or
digital resources (e.g., ChatGPT, Spark Notes, etc.) to help them generate
