Dress Code
| | School safety is of primary importance to all of us. At Parkview, we want our focus to be on academics, student achievement, self-esteem and student activities. It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to see that a student is dressed appropriately for school. Attention should be given to cleanliness and safety.
- Students should not wear clothing that creates a disruption of classroom order.
- Clothing should provide adequate coverage of the body: open-toe sandals, short-shorts, bathing suits, halter tops, tube tops, spaghetti straps, undershirts, bare midriffs, sheer garments, sagging pants, etc. are not considered adequate coverage. Crude or vulgar lettering or printing, pictures depicting or encouraging use of tobacco, drugs, alcoholic beverages, printing that promotes an inappropriate attitude, racial/ethnic slurs, morbid or violent pictures, or sexually suggestive messages on shirts, sweatshirts, jackets or other wearing apparel are not acceptable.
- Attire associated with “gangs” such as the wearing of colors, gang insignias, bandanas, etc is not acceptable.
- Hats will be permitted as protection from cold weather and sun. They may not violate the above code regarding "gang" attire, be worn backwards, or inside of buildings. Hat privileges may be revoked if individuals compromise the hat policy.
- Unusual hair cuts or dyed colored hair is discouraged because it can create a disruption of classroom order.
- Make-up is not appropriate for elementary school.
- Modest jewlery that will not interfer with active play is acceptable. Hoop earrings, dangling necklaces, large stud earrings are not acceptable.
A student who violates the dress code and refuses to follow the direction of the staff regarding this code shall be subject to disciplinary action, including:
- The staff shall explain to the student why the attire is inappropriate, giving the student opportunity to respond, and notification to the parent/guardian.
- If a determination is made that attire is not appropriate, the following options will be considered:
- A request will be made for the student to remove the article. The article may be returned at the end of the school day.
- The student may be referred to the office to change into appropriate clothing.
- The staff and student agree upon a solution that will comply with the school policy, such as; turning the shirt wrong side out; asking the parent to bring suitable article to school for the student to change into; or wearing school supplied apparel which will be returned at the end of the school day.
- Other discipline as determined appropriate by the Principal/designee.
School administration will continue to evaluate issues related to appearance and clothing that reflect goals of safety and a positive learning environment.
