Student Dress Code Reminders...

Well the warm weather is here a bit early, and the dress code is once again a hot button topic! Rather than quote the guidelines that you've heard many times before and have read thoroughly in your child's agenda, I thought a visual might help get the point across...
Racerback tops and halter tops are not appropriate.

This is the desired length for shorts, skirts, and dresses - they should reach close to the knee.
Students may not wear jeans or shorts with holes above the knee.
These skirts are very popular right now! However, they are not the appropriate length for school.
Boys' pants and shorts should sit on their waist.
Cheer/soccer shorts should not be worn to school. Typically, they're too short anyway.  We also have the issue of girls rolling the shorts at the waist, which doesn't help either.



TOO SHORT! Shorts should reach the top of the knee (or VERY close).





These kids look great!

Thanks, parents, for your support!

  2. Hi Dr. Patterson,

    Thank you for wanting the students at HMS to dress appropriately! I hope you can show these photos to the students. I'm fine with a rule--"shorts and skirts to the knees plus must wear sleeves" if necessary.

  4. Great dress code! It's a shame students don't understand proper dress attire for school. Thanks for spelling it out and offering pictures to make the point clear.

  5. I've been happy to not see spaghetti straps and bra straps --- on my own daughter --- in one outfit, this school year thus far! :)
