Junior High Dress Code
We have been patient with our new students as they have been learning the dress code at the Junior High. However, we are now starting to see some pretty obvious violations of dress code on a far too regular basis. Beginning next week will be inviting students who come to school out of dress code a choice of either coming up to the front office to call a parent to bring them dress code items, or select from dress code compliant items we will have available in the front office. (The second option will not include particularly attractive or stylish choices.)
There seem to be some consistent areas of non-compliance that we would like to clarify now:
· Skirts or shorts need to be no more than 2 inches above the knee…even with tights or leggings underneath
· We are allowing girls to wear solid colored cardigans (in dress code colors) over solid colored tank tops (also in dress code colors). We are not allowing stripes or patterns on either the cardigan or tank tops however. Also, we will be monitoring this combination for modesty as well.
· We are getting a lot of girl’s skirts in lace and pretty elaborate patterns that are also not compliant.
· The boys also need to pay attention to ensure they wear dress code colored shirts (turquoise, light blue, purple, etc. don’t count)
· We are also seeing boys wear gym shorts instead of dress code bottoms. Those are not appropriate except for gym.
· Lastly, in gym class, the t-shirts need to have sleeves. Cut off sleeves or tank tops are not allowed either.
Please know that we appreciate the efforts of our students, and their parents, who are working to comply with the dress code. Thank you.
