Employee Dress Code
Employee Dress Code
Rock Hill Schools is responsible for educating children to prepare them for successful and useful roles in our society. It’s the responsibility of all employees to serve as role models for students and present a positive, professional image in attitude, language, behavior, grooming, and dress. Appropriate dress is a rational means of promoting respect for authority, traditional values, and discipline.
All personnel working within schools and offices (employees, substitutes, guest instructors, college students, interns, and volunteers) are expected to dress commensurate to their work assignments to promote an environment that is conducive to learning. All employees must wear district-issued identification badges.
Employees who are meeting with parents and other guests in the schools, or who are in continual contact with students, shall present themselves during the instructional day in accordance with the following guidelines and other standards deemed appropriate by the administration in individual schools:
Male:
• dress shirt or sport shirt with collar, sweaters, sweater vests, slacks, shoes (except sandals)
with socks
• clean and well-groomed hair, including facial hair
Female:
• slacks, capri or crop pants, skirts (no shorter than 2 inches above top of knee), dresses, jumpers, blouses, sweaters, collared shirts (Tops without collars are acceptable if they compliment other attire being worn and are not too casual.)
• clean and well-groomed hair
Shoes: Employees should wear shoes at all times that provide support and protection. While athletic-type shoes are not preferred, they are acceptable if they are neat, clean and compliment other attire being worn.* Sandals, preferably with backs, are acceptable; however, beach-type shoes, such as flip-flops, shower shoes, and plastic shoes, as well as house or bedroom-style shoes, are not appropriate. Footwear for medical purposes will be approved on an individual basis. (*Athletic-type shoes are inappropriate for office personnel.)
Inappropriate dress or personal grooming includes, but is not limited to*:
• clothes that are too tight or too loose
• denim jeans of all colors and leggings or tights (except under skirts, dresses, jumpers—no tunics)
• shorts of any length, cargo pants, exercise clothing or warm-up pants or suits, sweat or tee
shirts, bib overalls
• work clothes (except for specific assignments such as for labs, gym, field trips, designated spirit days, or workdays when parents won’t be present)
• camouflage, muscle shirts, or clothing and accessories with slogans that are suggestive of drugs, alcohol, sex, or obscenities
• provocative clothing (thin straps, halter or tube tops, strapless, too tight, too short, revealing cleavage, showing undergarments, or clothes that show one's waist, back or hip area in any type of work situation)
• display of tattoos that are controversial in language or image
• body piercings other than ear
For Your Newsletter: Please add this to your weekly parent communication
The Ebinport SIC is looking to fill some vacant Parent positions:
The Ebinport School Improvement Council, known as the SIC, is a group of advisors who give their feedback and opinions to the school principal. They also lead initiatives towards the ultimate goal of school improvement. It is made up of parents, teachers and community members. The group meets once a month at Ebinport for one hour. Sometimes members are asked to attend or help plan some events towards the groups’ goals/initiatives. This group is not allowed by law to do any fundraising (only support) or handle monetary funds. This Ebinport group won the Riley Award for school excellence from SC SIC among entries from schools all over the state in 2016.
Some possible goals & initiatives to continue next year:
Goals:
1.) Increase membership of parents who have non-immersion students from 0 to 2 members next year and to 4 the following year
2.) Diversify our membership so that it more closely represents the school community that the SIC serves
3.) Increase readership or 'opens' of school Enews from 40% to 45%
4.) Hold 2 positive parenting sessions in fall and 2 in spring
Initiatives:
Continue: Learning Gardens, Supporting Eagle Eyes, EbinPAWS, Men of Character, Walk to School Day, & Social-Emotional Learning program to complement PBIS next year.

Master Keys
Students should never be given a master key. If you decide to give a student your classroom key, you are responsible if something happens.
