Last week, I went over the dress code with our 4th-6th grade students. We discussed that the dress code is a way to demonstrate responsibility, by teaching a level of professionalism you can expect at a job, and various settings as you get older. Also, that different environments call for different types of clothing. Jobs have uniforms, you would wear athletic clothes to the gym, a bathing suit to the beach, and adhere to dress code at school.

The following describes our dress code, as well as the picture:

• Any images, symbols, language, or writing related to discrimination, violence, drugs, gang representation or sexual activity/objectification is not permitted

• Clothing needs to:

• Conceal undergarments (no underwear out top or bottom of shorts)

• Have shoulder straps of a minimum of 2 inches

• Meet the waistline when standing

• Bottoms need a 3+ inch inner hem. We use our best judgment.

• Shoes must be worn at all times with toes covered and a back
