Covid Update
SPS Dress Code
A Southfield Public School District student will not dress in a manner that negatively impacts the learning process or educational setting. Students may not dress in a manner that is obscene, offensive, provocative, distractive, or indecent as these detract from the learning environment. This includes, but is not limited to, students wearing clothing that positively supports and depicts messages of violence, drugs, sexual themes, hate, vulgarity, and criminal behaviors. Students are expected to adhere to the following appearance guidelines while on school property and during school-related events:
Clothing must be worn in a tasteful manner. Shirts, blouses, and tops should fully cover backs, torsos, and cleavage on all students (males, females and gender non-conformists), without any indecent exposure, including undergarments and associated undergarment straps or bands. No low cut tops allowed or bare midriffs (all students). Accordingly, pants that “sag” to expose underwear, torn or ripped pants, or shirts that rise up to expose skin are prohibited.
Pants, shorts, and skirts should be worn appropriately. Pants, trousers, and bottoms should fully cover undergarments, without any indecent exposure including underwear linings and underwear bands. Skirts should fully cover the entire thigh. If leggings/yoga pants are worn, shirts or skirts should cover the buttocks.
Southfield Public Schools recognizes that each student’s choice of dress and grooming is an expression of personal style and individual preference. Southfield Public Schools will not interfere with a student’s decision regarding their appearance, except when the choices interfere with the learning environment or school safety.
First time offenses will result in after school detention being assigned. Students with three or more dress code violations will be subject to short-term suspension.
Student Activities
There are several student activities planned for the remainder of the school year to return to Pre-COVID activities for our student body. Attendance at student activities, including attending formal events like the Senior Prom and participating in the Graduation Ceremony, as well as activities held during or after school, are privileges.
The privilege to attend any of these activities may be revoked due to violations of the SPS Code of Conduct and/or excessive unexcused absences based on the Oakland County Truancy Department:
students who miss 10 days or have been absent 10 percent of the days possible
Student & Family Communication
Electronic communication is our primary way of communicating with our school community. Regular and special announcements are sent via email.
Students should make it a regular habit to check their email at least 3 times a day:
Before coming to school
During Seminar
Before the end of the day
Parents/Guardians should make it a regular habit to check their email at twice a day:
Before the start of the school day
In the evening (no later than 8 pm)
Unauthorized Food Sales
It is a Southfield Public Schools Code of Conduct violation for any student to sell items during the school day. Homemade/store bought items are not allowed to be sold for students’ personal gain or outside fundraisers. Items will be confiscated and a parent/guardian will be required to pick up the items from the school--items will not be returned to students under any circumstances. Repeated violations will result in disciplinary action.
Distribution of Unauthorized Materials: The act of distributing or selling materials on school property without authorization of the building administration is expressly prohibited. Violators of this provision shall be subject to disciplinary action, which may include suspension or expulsion.
