Student Dress Code

We have found that there is a correlation between a student’s behaviour and attitude and his/her manner of dress. There is a wide range of available clothing styles that reflect a positive attitude and appearance. We ask that students attending our school wear clothing that is comfortable, clean, and appropriate for an elementary school. Because our instructional program includes active play, students must wear clothing that allows them to run and jump, including shoes with non-marking soles for inside wear. Clothing and other items our students wear must not disrupt the educational process, create safety concerns, nor create any distraction. All popular fashions may not be appropriate for an elementary school.

Inappropriate dress includes but is not limited to:

Clothing that does not fit reasonably.
Clothing with logos, slogans, words, or pictures promoting or depicting alcohol, tobacco, drugs, vandalism, gangs, bigotry, violence, sexual connotations, or profanity. This includes clothing with phrases or pictures that have double meanings.
Clothing that is revealing or immodest or tops that expose bare midriff or undergarments. Examples include halter tops, bathing suits, sports bras, tube tops, razor back tops, spaghetti straps, and low-cut tops.
Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be long enough that they reach the same point on the thigh as the bottom of a student’s closed fist when the arm is extended and resting on the thigh.
Hats worn indoors or incorrectly.

School personnel reserve the right to determine the appropriateness of hair, clothing, and makeup. With the support and cooperation of our students, parents, and staff, our school will be a positive and productive environment.
