Student dress is an important factor in maintaining a positive educational environment. The School Board and school division staff rely on parents and students to support the division’s emphasis on safety and avoiding disruptions in the learning environment. A student’s dress and appearance should not cause disruption, distract other students from their school work, or compromise health or safety. This dress code applies to all school functions.

• For health and safety reasons, appropriate footwear, as determined by the building principal, must be worn at all times. Slippers are not allowed.

• Skirts, dresses, jumpers, and shorts must completely cover the pelvic area and extend to the longest finger-tip length at all times, including while students are standing, sitting, or engaging in physical activity.

• Clothing should not expose the student’s midriff, chest, or private areas at any time.

• Sleeveless garments must have 2-inch straps and not expose undergarments. Spaghetti straps, tube tops, halter tops, and tank tops may be worn UNDER tops, shirts and blouses that have at least 2-inch coverage across each shoulder.

• Yoga pants, leggings, and tights may be worn but must not fit excessively tight or be see-through. A longer top or tunic is recommended.

• Pants and shorts must be worn and secured to prevent the student’s undergarments from being exposed, to prevent the waistband from sagging below the student’s hips, and to prevent the garment from dragging on the floor.

• All clothing must be free of holes, cuts, tears and/or rips that expose undergarments and/or the region of the body traditionally covered by undergarments. Any holes, cuts, tears, and/or rips must be no more than 4” above the middle of your kneecap or past your longest fingertip.

Students MAY NOT WEAR the following:

• Clothing, jewelry, and other personal belongings displaying language or images that are vulgar, lewd, or obscene; that reflect adversely on or disparage another’s race, gender, sexual orientation, skin color, religion, national origin, ancestry, or disability; that promote the use of drugs, illegal substances, or alcohol; or that contain threats, gang symbols, symbols of groups associated with threatening or violent behavior, or groups that promote the unlawful use of weapons or other criminal behavior.

• Hats, hoods, face masks, or head coverings of any kind while inside school buildings during regular school hours, unless worn for religious or medical reasons or approved in writing in advance by the building principal.

• Sunglasses while inside school buildings unless required under a physician’s prescription.

• Chains of any type or studded/spiked jewelry.

• Pajamas, sleepwear, swim wear, flags, or blankets.

• Clothing that is constructed of see-through fabric, is revealing, or that resembles undergarments.

• Clothing that is excessively loose or excessively tight fitting.

Attendance has been increasingly the focus of attention among school divisions and educators. According to research1, regular attendance is a significant factor in a student’s success:

• Chronic absenteeism correlates to low academic achievement.
• Absenteeism is a powerful predictor of dropout rates.
• Absenteeism has been linked to poor outcomes later in life.

Chronic absenteeism is defined as missing ten percent or more of the academic year for any reason, including excused absences, unexcused absences, and suspensions. Based on a 180-day school year, that means approximately 18 days per year or 2 to 3 days per month.

In the event your child is absent from school, please provide a hard copy note to our front office for documentation of excused.
