Student Dress Code Reminder
1. Sleeveless shirts are permitted as long as they extend to the shoulder. Tank, tube and halter tops, including “spaghetti” straps, are not permitted.
2. Shorts are permitted during school hours. Dresses, skirts and shorts shall be a length of at least mid-thigh.
3. Graphics or text on apparel that state/suggest obscene/offensive messages are prohibited.
4. Students are not permitted to wear hats in the building; however, they may bring them to school to wear during outside activities. Other inappropriate head coverings such as bandanas, sweatbands, caps and any other headwear are not to be worn during the school day or school functions, except for medical and/or religious purposes.
5. The warm weather provides us with an opportunity to go outside during our daily lunchtime and during outside play. Flip-flops, open backed, or platform sandals are not considered to be acceptable footwear for active outside play, and your child will be asked to sit out. In addition, rollerblade sneakers are not considered appropriate footwear for school.
If a child’s dress is deemed inappropriate while attending the school day or other school-related events, parents or guardians will be contacted to bring their child a change of clothes.
