Dress Code
WWB is a dress code school. Students should be in dress code Monday through Thursday, unless they have a dress down pass. Friday is a dress down day! There are many benefits of a dress code in school:
- A dress code promotes a more serious school atmosphere which emphasizes academics and promotes good behavior.
- Dress codes have proven to increase student achievement by encouraging students to concentrate more on their studies and less on what they're wearing.
- Dress codes reduce social conflict and peer pressure that may be associated with appearance.
These are just a few benefits. We have relaxed the dress code since the dress code was first started. Below is a short list of our dress code:
- Any collared shirt (solid, stripes, design, etc.). As long as it has a collar, it is allowed.
- Khaki material pants--ANY color.
- Girls may wear uniform dress or jumper.
- No hoodies allowed!
- Leggings, jeggings, and tights can be worn under school uniform clothing.
- School t-shirts may be worn as a dress code shirt, but students must still wear the appropriate dress code pants, skirts, etc. on the bottom. Special Casual days will be scheduled throughout the year.
We also talk to our students about no matter what we do, there is a dress code. If you're a doctor or nurse at a hospital, you will see them in scrubs. If you are a judge, you will be in a robe. If you work at a restaurant, you may have a certain shirt or dress code attire to wear. Having a dress code is something that will last with our scholars for the rest of their lives.
Our staff will be enforcing dress code to keep consistency among students. If you need assistance with dress code clothing, please reach out to our Family Resource Coordinator, Ms. Walters or your child's teacher.
