NO COATS, JACKETS, HOODED SWEATSHIRTS, DURAGS, CAPS OR HATS ARE TO BE WORN DURING SCHOOL.
SHOES OR SNEAKERS - Closed Shoes/sneakers must fit securely on the foot. Shoes with open toes, or backless shoes, (including flip flops, sandals, mules, and slides) will not be allowed.
CROCS - Crocs will only be allowed ONLY with the back strap. Crocs worn without the backstrap will be considered as slides and will NOT be allowed for safety reasons. Crocs provide little support, and they can easily slip off during gym or any other activity beyond walking.
NO OVERSIZED CLOTHING WILL BE ALLOWED No colored wrist bands, neck beads, head bands, or durags are allowed. The principal has a right to stop any pattern, for example groups wearing identical earrings, chains, beads, bracelets, etc. or anything that may be mistaken for gang affiliation.
ENFORCEMENT The school will strive to achieve full compliance through the use of positive reinforcement measures and will resort to disciplinary action only when positive measures and supports fail to assure compliance. No student will be considered non-compliant with the uniform policy in the following instances: • When the student wears the dress of a nationally recognized youth organization or activity, such as Boy/Girl Scouts, on regular meeting days. • When the student’s parent or guardian has secured an exemption from the school policy for religious or health considerations. A student may wear religious attire • When a student is on school grounds outside of normal school hours, appropriate attire is required • When a field trip or school event may require specialized clothing, appropriate attire is required. • Gym attire must reflect the basic colors in the dress policy. Allowances will be made for sweatpants and sweatshirts (for gym only).
NOT IN COMPLIANCE FIRST OCCURRENCE – The school will contact the parent/guardian to restate our policy and the student will change into appropriate clothing.
SECOND OCCURRENCE – Parent or Guardian will bring in appropriate clothing for the student to attend class. Student will receive detention (lunch, before/after school).
THIRD OCCURRENCE – Parent or Guardian will bring in appropriate clothing to school. Student will be given in-house suspension FOURTH OCCURRENCE – This is considered defiance and Code of Conduct will be applied RATIONALE: School uniform policies can promote school safety, improve discipline, and enhance the learning environment. The potential benefits of school uniforms include: • Decreasing violence and theft – even life-threatening situations – among students over designer clothing or expensive sneakers • Helping prevent gang members from wearing gang colors and insignia at school • Instilling students with discipline •
Helping parents and students resist peer pressure • Helping students concentrate on their schoolwork; and • Helping school officials recognize intruders who come to the school.
