With the annual arrival of spring comes the annual arrival of our reminders about our expectations around student appearance. Please help support us as we enforce the following expectations as stated in the student handbook:
"Guidelines for Student Appearance
- Student dress cannot violate health or safety laws
- Clothing with underwear showing (inappropriate)
- Excessively low-cut shirts/dresses (inappropriate)
- Shorts and skirts no shorter than mid-thigh
- Avoid strapless, backless, or single strap garments
- Avoid obscene, derogatory, racial, ethnic, sexual, hate/prejudice
- Spiked jewelry (inappropriate)
Dress and appearance are considered the responsibility of the student and her/his parents or guardians...Teachers and administration will judge whether or not a student is in violation of the dress code. Students who refuse to change will be sent home."
It's the three items italicized above that tend to present challenges this time of year. Students are being reminded of these guidelines this week. Going forward, any student in violation will receive a Classroom Discipline Referral for Inappropriate Dress. Consequences may include, but are not limited to, contacting home, changing clothes, and attending call back.
Please help guide your child to make appropriate clothing choices in the morning so that we don't have to call home for a change of clothes.
Thank you for your continued support of our positive and safe learning environment.
