DRESS CODE
The responsibility for the appropriate appearance of students rests with the parents and the students themselves. They have the right to determine such student’s dress providing that such attire is not destructive to school property, does not endanger the safety of students, complies with the health code of the State of Connecticut, and does not distract from the educational process. This right may be restricted by the school administration in order to provide the best educational environment for the student.
Regulations: The following restrictions have been made by the administration after much discussion with teachers, parents, and students. The administration reserves the right to restrict any other attire that is considered detrimental or distractive to the educational process.
1. No tank tops.
2. No halters or tube tops.
3. No footwear that can endanger the safety of the student can be worn.
4. No shorts or skirts which are torn, ragged, or have holes, no shorts or skirts that are shorter than mid-thigh, no Spandex shorts worn as an outer garment.
5. No inappropriate jewelry that can be dangerous or highly distractive.
6. No shirts with suggestive or inappropriate writing.
7. No unlaced sneakers or shoes.
8. No hats in school.
9. No bare midriffs.
It must be understood that the Board and/or Administration reserves the right to periodically review these regulations; and if, at their sole discretion, they determine that there is significant abuse of the guidelines, they will impose appropriate changes.
