We want all students to feel comfortable while engaging in learning during the school day, while still being allowed to express themselves within the parameters of school. In order to create a safe and effective learning environment, students are expected to meet the follow expectations regardless of gender:
-
Show good daily hygiene.
-
Wear clothes that are appropriate, safe and free of inappropriate logos, slogans, phrases, words, symbols, and / or suggestive images.
-
Wear clothes that cover all their undergarments.
-
Wear clothes that may not be seen through.
-
Wear hats, hoods, or headdress with permission on certain days or activities only.
-
Color their hair and / or have facial jewelry as long as it is deemed to be non-disruptive to the learning environment to be determined by the administration and / or classroom teachers.
-
Wear shorts that appropriately cover all areas when engaging in regular school-day activities, to be determined by the administration and / or classroom teachers (as long as their arms extended into a fist is a good rule of thumb).
-
Wear skirts that are as long as their arms extended to their fingertips and appropriately cover all areas when engaging in regular school-day activities to be determined by the administration and / or classroom teachers.
-
Wear shirts that cover their chest, stomach, and back while engaging in the regular school day activities, to be determined by the administration and / or classroom teachers.
-
Wear tank tops that cover their chest, stomach, back with straps that are wide enough to conceal the majority of their shoulders (three fingers width is a good rule of thumb).
If you have questions about whether a garment would be school appropriate, the administration would be happy to verify prior to wearing.
If it is deemed that a student has not met the expectations, the student will be asked to correct the violation. A parent may be notified if the situation cannot be rectified at school.
