DRESS CODE
DRESS CODE
Learning to dress appropriately for school, work, and recreation is an important life skill stressed at PS/IS 217. To assist our students in developing that skill, our school requires students to adhere to a recommended dress code.
Clothing selections should be casual, yet conducive to the activity of learning. The following articles of clothing are considered inappropriate:
- Shorts, skirts, or dresses that are more than 2 inches above the knee
- Mesh or extremely sheer blouses worn without a solid article of clothing underneath
- Excessively ripped and torn clothing
- Spandex clothing
- Backless, strapless or spaghetti strap tops
- Clothing that bares the midriff
- Hats, bandanas or kerchiefs
- Excessive makeup and/or jewelry
- Clothing with inappropriate pictures or words
- Heels, slippers or flip-flops
- Pajama pants
- Wheelies
- No beads of any kind, including rosaries
- Pants, skirts, or shorts worn below the waist
- Outdoor gear (i.e., gloves, hats, earmuffs, etc.)
A student’s failure to adhere to the dress code will result in parental/guardian contact. Please take a few moments to share this list with your child to avoid last minute wardrobe changes resulting in school lateness. Your support of this policy is greatly appreciated.
