APPROPRIATE SCHOOL ATTIRE

Parents should be involved in setting standards of dress and grooming for their children. However, if the student, by dress or grooming is interfering with the educational process or is not dressed conducive to the activity engaged in, appropriate action, involving the parents, will be taken.

Some guidelines to follow are:

1. Clothing should be neat and clean.

2. Shoes and other footwear that can damage floors or that might be hazardous (sandals) are unacceptable.

3. The content of patches or inscriptions on outer clothing should not be offensive.

4. For health considerations, coats or heavy jackets are not to be worn in the classroom.

5. Shorts are allowed but discouraged during cold weather.

6. Hats will not be worn in the school building. (Hats taken by teachers will be labeled and kept in the teacher’s possession until the end of the day). See “Defiance of Authority” guidelines in the School Handbook for repeated occurrences.
