2011-2012 School Year The major purpose of our schools is to provide an atmosphere conducive to learning. We are striving for consistency in the East Ridge schools and a smooth transition from elementary to middle school. Although there may be a difference of opinion as to what constitutes appropriate dress, the final decision will rest with the Principal or designee. Dress code is subject to revision. SHOES - Socks and tennis shoes are to be worn at all times, no heels. No other types of shoes are acceptable. CAPS/HATS - No hats/caps, scarves or head coverings are allowed inside the building. PANTS - Pants must be solid color, navy or tan (khaki). No jeans. If pants have belt loops, a belt must be worn. Pants must be hemmed. No pants with splits, tears or cargo-type pockets will be allowed. SHORTS/SKIRTS - Shorts and skirts can be worn but must be navy or khaki, finger-tip or knee length. Shorts must be worn under skirts. SHIRTS - Solid colored golf or polo style shirts are the only shirts allowed for students. These shirts must have a collar and buttons at the neck and must be size appropriate. A solid colored turtleneck may be worn under the golf shirt. No writing or pictures are allowed on the shirts with the exception of a very small name brand emblem, no larger than a quarter, on one side at chest level. All shirts must be long enough to be easily tucked and must stay tucked at all times. SWEATERS - Cardigan, crew, V-neck, hoodies may be worn for cold weather or air conditioner comfort. They must be solid in color. Jackets, fleece, or windbreakers may be worn to school, but must be removed upon entering the classroom at the beginning of the day. HAIR/MAKE-UP - Hair must not disrupt the educational process in any way. Hair must be natural in color. No make-up. No visible body art, temporary tattoos, tattoos, or drawings are permitted. JEWELRY - Visible piercing must be confined to the ears only. No large hoops or dangles. The administration reserves the right to add to or delete from the above code in order to maintain a safe educational environment. In the event of heating or cooling problems, the administration reserves the right to alter the dress code. **** The school will have “dress down” days, but that will be determined by each classroom individually. |
