SHS Student Wildcat Roar
October 5, 2025
Check out the Handbook Highlight for full details about the Dress Code, but let's be clear and on the same page about a few things:
- You have to wear shoes to school. Shoes have HARD SOLES. Soft-soled slippers are not shoes.
- Don't wear clothing to school that has beer or tobacco logos or references on it.
- You are to be covered arm-pit to arm-pit and half-way down your leg. No exposed stomachs or sternums.
The weight room will be open for all HS students on Mondays and Thursdays from 3:15 to 4:15.
See Mrs. Campbell if you have questions.

The Handbook Highlight is a recap of a handbook policy or entry that our Students/Adults need to be aware of. If I'm taking the time to include it, it's something to pay attention to - either because I'm seeing that people aren't clear on it, people aren't complying with it, or I'm about to crack down on it.
STUDENT DRESS AND GROOMING
School dress should not be a disruption to the educational process or create health or safety issues.
Minimum Requirements:
1. Clothing must cover areas from one armpit across to the other armpit, down to approximately 3-4 inches in length on the upper thigh.
2. Shoes must be worn at all times and should be safe for the school environment (pajamas, bedroom shoes, or slippers shall not be worn, except for school activities approved by the Principal).
3. See through or mesh garments must not be worn without appropriate coverage underneath that meet the minimum requirements of the dress code.
4. Headgear, including hats, hoodies, and caps are not allowed unless permitted for religious, medical, or other reasons by School Administration.
5. Specialized courses may require specialized attire, such as sports uniforms or safety gear.
Additional Requirements:
1. Clothing may not depict , imply, advertise, or advocate illegal, violent, or lewd conduct, weapons, or the use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or other controlled substances.
2. Clothing may not depict or imply pornography, nudity, or sexual acts.
3. Clothing may not display or imply vulgar, discriminatory, or obscene language or images.
4. Clothing may not state, imply, or depict hate speech/imagery targeting groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation, or any other protected classification.
5. Sunglasses may not be worn inside the building, unless permitted for medical, or other reasons by School Administration.
6. Clothing and accessories that endanger student or staff safety may not be worn.
7. Apparel, jewelry, accessories, tattoos, or manner of grooming that, by virtue of its color, arrangement, trademark, or any other attribute, denotes membership in a gang that advocates illegal or disruptive behavior is prohibited.
The Administration reserves the right to determine what constitutes appropriate dress. Students who do not adhere to these guidelines will not be allowed to attend class. Parents will be called if appropriate clothing is not available or if the student refuses the dress-code appropriate clothing.
If you know that you won't be at school on a certain day for an appointment, meeting, etc. - besides telling your teachers (which is great!) - please let Ms. Mindy know.
You can do so by emailing her at mwiseman@slaterschools.net.
Parents can call Ms. Mindy at 660-529-2278, ext. 107.
Please note the policy for Unsportsmanlike Actions at an extra-curricular activity:

Due to liability concerns from our insurance company, pets are not permitted on school property, including the Sports Complex.
This excludes service animals and classroom/curricular animals, pre approved by a Building Principal.
Students must be in good standing to participate in extracurricular events/activities. (This includes attending those events as a spectator.)
Students must be in attendance at school for four consecutive hours on the day of the event to be able to play in or attend an extracurricular event/activity.
HS students aren't to watch Netflix - or other video platforms - in classrooms, even if you're done with your work. You should have enough to do in each hour that you don't have time to pull it up, and if you do complete something early, you can utilize our Library and check out a book or work on a curricular assignment for another class.
