Dress Code

We are no longer a uniform school. Parents may continue to purchase uniforms if they choose; however, it is crucial to understand that we will adhere to the District’s Student Dress Code. This dress code is applicable to both in person and virtual learning.

The purpose of this dress code is to enhance school safety, improve the learning environment, and promote good behavior. Children’s attitudes toward schoolwork and behavior are related to the clothing that they wear. This dress code does not regulate the exercise of an individual’s sincerely held religious beliefs.

Shoes

• Tennis shoes or sturdy, form-fitting shoes are recommended for the school day.
• Appropriate shoes for SAFE play. No backless, high-heeled or open toed shoes are permitted. No shoes with wheels or shoes without heel/ankle support or back straps are permitted.

Pants, shorts, skirts

• Pants and shorts need to fit snuggly at the waist.
• Shorts and skirts length must be mid-thigh, meaning just above the knee or longer, and no shorter than 2” above the knee is permitted.

Shirts

• Shirts with inappropriate slogans are not to be worn at school (i.e., references to drugs, alcohol, offensive language, sexual references).
• Tops and bottoms must overlap at all times, including when arms are raised.
• No sleeveless tops.

General
