Student Dress Code

Although North Webster Lower Elementary doesn’t have a uniform policy, we do follow a standardized dress code. Our school has instituted this dress code in an effort to increase standards of dress, conduct and academic achievement, while also helping promote school safety, improve discipline, and enhance the learning environment.   

 

TOPS: - Polo-style shirts or t-shirts may be worn. Items of clothing should have no large cuts, frays, slits, or rips that show the student’s skin. Students may not wear tank tops, muscle shirts, spaghetti straps, or sleeveless tops. Shirt emblems or print may not refer to drugs, alcohol, weapons, violence, gang-related activities, cultural bias, or exhibit profane or obscene language/gestures. 

 

LONG PANTS AND SHORTS: - Pants, shorts, or skorts may be worn. Shorts and skorts are to be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee. Garments must not exceed actual waist and hip measurements by more than 2 inches. Bottom garments must not have slits, cuts, rips, or frays. Pajama pants or shorts are not to be worn. Sagging is not permitted. 

 

BELTS: Belts are optional, but pants must fit at the waist. 

 

SHOES: Shoes may be either an athletic type shoe or a closed-toe shoe with a back that slides over the heel. Croc style or flip-flop type shoes are not permitted.  

 

Jackets: For the winter months, vests, long-sleeved shirts, and sweatshirts may be worn.  Coats that may be worn inside the buildings are to be lightweight. Students may NOT wear hoods inside the building.     

 

HAIR:  Hair of both male and female students is to be clean and properly groomed and of natural color. 

 

EARRINGS:  For safety reasons, earrings worn must be studs that fit snugly against the ear lobe. 

 

In addition to the dress code items mentioned previously, the following rules must be followed:
