Elementary Dress Code

Dress Code Policy 2007-08

On the Top and Bottom

Students have a choice of any top or bottom clothing item available in the SCS Dennis Uniform Booklet. Each day, students will have a choice as to which color, style, or type of clothing item they wear as long as it is one of the items listed in the booklet. Shirts are expected to be tucked in during the school day and belts should be worn if there are belt loops. Fleece vests and sweatshirts purchased through Dennis may be worn during the school day. Any top, bottom, or outerwear purchased somewhere other than Dennis Uniform may not be worn during the school day. Layering of clothes (long sleeve shirts worn under short sleeve sheets) is not allowed.

Footwear

Any dress shoe, athletic shoe, dress boot, or sandal that fits securely on the foot is allowed. Open back shoes that do not fit tightly should not be worn and sandals should have a back strap. Flip-flop style sandals are not allowed. Standard socks or hosiery should be worn at all times.

Belts and Accessories

Belts and accessories may be purchased anywhere and should be decent, simple, and modest so as not to draw unnecessary attention to the person wearing them. Pants or shorts with belt loops should have standard belts worn with them.

Miscellaneous

Students should be neatly groomed with moderately styled hair. Simple and safe jewelry is allowed. Natural color lip gloss and pastel colored nail polish with all nails being painted the same color are permissible. Miscellaneous items not allowed include makeup, male earrings, facial hair, head coverings, unnatural hair color, visible tattoos, and body piercing.

Jeans Day

Throughout the year, we will have school-wide and individually-rewarded Jeans Days available for students. On these days, students do not have to adhere to the “On the Top and Bottom" portion of the Uniform Dress Code Policy. Students may wear jeans, capris, shorts, tailored athletic wear (with fly and pockets), T-shirts, sweatshirts, etc. Clothing items not allowed on Jeans Days include military wear, shirts with inappropriate statements or pictures, and torn, frayed, or ripped clothing. Please keep modesty, decency, and simplicity in mind when dressing on these days.

Enforcement

The uniform dress code policy is enforced during the entire school day by both teachers and the administration. In enforcement we seek first to gain compliance. Where the infraction can be remedied, we permit students to do so. Students not adhering to the uniform dress code policy may have the following consequences based on the severity and repetition of the infraction: parental contact, recess detentions, withdrawal of extra-curricular activities, parents bringing up suitable clothing, possible suspension, and other consequences deemed relevant by the principal.
