DRESS CODE

School is the students’ place of work and appropriate dress is required.  Clothing considered inappropriate or a distraction to the educational process will not be allowed.  Guidelines regarding unacceptable dress include but are not limited to:

                        a.         Short shorts, skirts, or dresses (finger tip length or longer)

b.         Profanity (or other offensive language) or suggestive pictures or messages on clothing

                        c.         Transparent or fishnet clothing

                        d.         Tops that expose midriffs, backs, or sides

                        e.         Clothing intended as underwear worn as outerwear

                        f.          Hats or head coverings (inside the building)

                        g.         Baggie or sagging clothing

                        h.         Clothing which may be perceived as having gang connotations

i.          Chains (worn as necklaces or part of a wallet) which may be construed as
                        weapons

Students should be appropriately dressed for predicted weather conditions.  During cold weather children should be dressed in hats, mittens or gloves, boots, coats or jackets that can be fastened, and snow pants.  If students are inappropriately dressed, parents will be notified and asked to bring in the appropriate clothing.

Since there are health benefits associated with outside recess breaks, students are expected to go outside for recess.  Medical reasons (noted on a doctor’s letterhead) will be taken into consideration and may warrant a student staying in for recess.  We will consider signed notes from parents, if there has been an illness or injury wherein the child has missed school.  For those students who are allowed to stay inside for recess, an appropriate setting will be provided to the best of our ability.

If school officials feel the weather is not appropriate for outside activity, the children will remain inside for recess.  During the winter months, students will remain inside when the wind-chill factor reaches -10 degrees Fahrenheit.

Boots in winter:  Parents, if your child wears boots that do not allow shoes to be worn “in” them, have your child bring and leave an extra pair of shoes for the winter.  Not having appropriate footwear can create problems.  Wet floors and stocking feet do not make for a good combination.
