Dress Code
Please keep in mind the following guidelines when your child is choosing clothes to wear to school:
- Shoes must have closed toes and closed heels. They must be flat heels- higher than ½-inch are not safe and are therefore not allowed. Tennis shoes are recommended.
- Belt ends must be tucked into a loop.
- Bike shorts, leggings, or tights can be worn under skirts or jumpers, but may not be worn alone.
- Scouting and religious attire is permitted.
- Hats are permitted; however, if the hat is used as an object for misbehavior it will be taken away and the parent will be notified that the child will not be able to wear it again.
- Tank tops must fit snugly over the torso; armholes cannot be so large that the torso is exposed.
- T-shirts with inappropriate pictures or slogans are not permitted.
- Stud earrings are permitted, but for safety reasons loops or dangling objects are not permitted.
- Excessively baggy pants are not permitted.
- Under garments should not be visible.
Most dress code violations can be solved easily by having the student put on a sweater or by turning the inappropriate clothing article inside out.
If it is a violation that requires a change of clothing, such as baggy pants or unsafe shoes, the student will be referred to the office and the parents will be called to bring a change of clothing.
Every year the PTA sells Cougar Wear clothing apparel, which can be worn any day of the week.
