Our school has enforced a stricter dress code! Why, you may ask? Having a stricter dress code allows students to show up in proper and respectful attire. These rules contribute to a productive and effective learning environment. Especially since the school year is all about making sure everyone gets the proper education with no distractions! Here’s what you should know in order to follow these rules and precautions!
Some basic prohibited items include :
-Exposed midriff, back, sides
-Tank tops and tube tops
-Clothing with disruptive and inappropriate words, images, and symbols
–Skirts, dresses, or shorts shorter than ¾-thigh length
Violation of any of the above will result in a consequence. You will first be provided with an appropriate piece of clothing. For your information, the item that will be given to you is not the most fashionable piece. So failure to comply will result in parent/guardian contact. Dress code violation warning tickets have also been given out to warn students for the future. Multiple tickets and repetitive dress code violations will result in disciplinary action.
However, students have the right to express themselves through clothing as long as they balance against the school’s needs to maintain order. Nowadays, social media trends can have an influence on a student’s style. However, if the style is inappropriate and does not follow dress code guidelines, the student is obligated to change. There are many different options of clothing to wear that still can show a unique style. As an example, you could wear non-ripped jeans with a cute shirt that covers what needs to be covered, paired with cool shoes. Another example, could be leggings paired with an oversized T-shirt, and of course a cool pair of shoes.
Staying fashionable while having a dress code is not hard. So before you walk into school, make sure that your outfit doesn’t violate any rules. Stay smart, stylish, and always within the dress code!
