Dress

Generally, most clothing is acceptable for school as long as it does not jeopardize anyone’s health or safety, disrupt the teaching and learning process, or create school disorder. The general policy of the school district on Student Dress and Appearance is Policy 504.

• Athletic shoes are required for Physical Education classes each day.
• Warm clothing is needed by all children throughout the school day.  All children will have an outdoor recess daily. 
• All outerwear (jackets, snow pants/suits, hats, mittens, and snow boots) is to be placed in the student’s locker during school hours.  Hats and scarves or bandanas are not to be worn in school except for special occasions.
• Clothing items reflecting obscenity, hate, racial, gender or religious put-downs, advertisements or logos for alcohol, tobacco or drugs are not allowed.
• Any clothing which a staff member finds to be offensive or which interferes with the learning environment will be reported to the office.  The student may be asked to change the clothing or sent home to change.
• Intermediate Schools: The wearing of flip flops or shoes with high heels is discouraged.
• Primary Schools: The wearing of flip flops or shoes with high heels is not appropriate for primary students.
