DISTRICT DRESS CODE POLICY
The dress code for Dutch Fork Middle school is determined largely by school district policy. The school may modify the dress code as long as the changes stay within the district guidelines.
● Clothing deemed distracting, revealing, or overly suggestive shall not be permitted.
● Dress or accessories that are considered unsafe, dangerous, a health hazard, or disruptive to the learning environment shall not be permitted. Clothing may not display vulgar symbols or language and may not contain alcohol, tobacco, or drug symbols.
● Sleeveless shirts should be at least ID badge width across the shoulder with no visible undergarments. Bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, halter/tank tops, and see-through shirts/tops/blouses are not permitted.
● Inappropriate tops are not to be worn beneath an overcoat that the student plans to remove.
● Pants must be worn at the natural waistline.
● Sleepwear or slippers may not be worn.
● Hats, head stockings, kerchiefs, bandanas, or bonnets are not allowed at school.
● Shorts or skirts must be at least “fingertip length”. This means that all skirts and shorts must be as long as the longest finger-tip when hands are placed at the student’s side along the entire hemline.
● Jeans with holes may not have holes that are higher than the student’s longest finger when hands are placed at the student’s side or higher than mid-thigh.
● The school will not be responsible for confiscated, unauthorized material brought to school.
AFTERNOON DISMISSAL PRODECURES
3:30 PM - At the first dismissal the following students are released:
- car riders
- 1st round of buses...this is announced daily
- home walkers
3:37 PM - At the second dismissal the following students are released:
- 2nd round of buses...this is announced daily
- high school walkers (walk behind the tennis courts and enter the high school from the back)
Please note, the high school does not dismiss until 3:40 PM. Any middle school students on their campus prior to 3:40 PM could be considered trespassing. We purposely hold our high school walkers until the 3:37 PM dismissal to assist the high school in their dismissal process.
All coaches have been informed of our dismissal timing. Please let us know if you have any concerns and we can discuss them with the high school athletics department.

RISING 7TH 8TH AND 9TH GRADERS
We are excited about our summer basketball workouts. We hope you will join us this summer. If you are interested in becoming a Silver Fox basketball player come out and join the fun. Summer is a time to improve your basketball skills in a relaxed atmosphere. All we ask you to do is to make yourself available, especially in the month of June, and be willing to learn.
Each participant must have a physical dated after April 1, 2019. Upload the physical and your child’s birth certificate on to www.ArbiterAthlete.com, as well as fill out all the forms on the website. This must be done before your child can participates, no exception. This is a South Carolina High School rule, not a Dutch Fork High/Middle School rule.
All practice for rising 7th – 9th grade will start June 3rd at Dutch Fork High School, please see the attached calendar.
Can’t wait to see you this summer!
Sincerely,
Faye Norris
