Uniforms?
Discovery Fusion students do not need a school uniform. We do have Discovery Fusion swag available in our Discovery Owl Shop, but your student just needs to follow the 3D Dress down rules below:
Guidelines for 3Dβs
- Modes of dress or appearance disruptive to the progress of the educational program are not allowed (i.e. no foul language, violence, or other inappropriate graphics or labels).
- Skirts, shorts, and skorts should be at the knee.
- Tank tops with or without spaghetti straps may only be worn with a shirt over or under.
- Full length tights or leggings may only be worn under skirts or dresses. Leggings should reach both ankles and can not be worn alone.
- The abdomen must be covered at all times.
- Jeans with no holes above the knee should be worn on or above the waist with a belt.
- Only tennis shoes may be worn on unless stated otherwise on shared 3D information.
In general, students should dress appropriately for school and the weather conditions. Hats, caps, coats and gloves are not to be worn in the building. Reasonable standards of cleanliness and decency are expected. Protective, closed toe footwear must be worn at all times (no sandals, slides or flip flops).
The principal or designee is the final authority for judging the appropriateness of a studentβs appearance.
