Dress Code Reminder
From the WES Student Handbook:
The appearance of any young person is primarily the responsibility of the individual and his/her parents. However, should a student's dress violate health or safety standards, the school reserves the right to require the student to make al necessary changes. The administration believes that students should dress in such a manner as to indicate their respect for the importance of their activities in school. Any child deemed inappropriately dressed will be given appropriate clothing to borrow from the school or will need to call home for other clothing. The guidelines below provide some specific restrictions regarding dress. Students should wear garments, shoes, jewelry, accessories that:
- reflect a positive image of the school
- contribute to a distraction-free learning environment, including (but not limited to)
For example, clothing should
1. be free of lights, spikes, or any other element that may injure someone or damage property
2. be free of written profanity, sexually explicit language, images of weapons or illegal actions, as well as alcohol or weapons logos, etc.
- do not pose a threat or safety issue to themselves or others
1. All shoes should have backs (i.e. no flip flops, clogs, etc.)
2. Earrings/necklaces/belts should be at a length that do not pose a distraction or safety issue.
3. Shoes should be wheel-free.
- do not cover face, head, or eyes while inside the school building
1. Students should not wear sunglasses unless prescribed by a physician.
2. Students should not wear hats, bandanas, head coverings or hoods.
- cover all undergarments
- cover the chest, back, midriff , buttocks, etc (i.e. shirts must overlap waistband of pants)
Note: The administration reserves the right to determine what is considered acceptable. Students whose dress is questionable, as we l as those not following the dress code, will be required to change into acceptable attire or will l be sent home. Parent support is appreciated and necessary. When students comply with the dress code, staff and administration spend much less time dealing with inappropriate dress and can dedicate that time to student learning. It is our goal to promote an orderly learning environment.
