CELL PHONE POLICY
DRESS CODE

CELL PHONES AND SMART WATCHES

Cell Phone Use by Students

As a general policy, students may not use cell phones or cell phone linked smart watches or other similar devices during school hours. Phones and accompanying watches must remain turned off and be stored in a student’s locker or in the school office. Individual teachers may elect to allow students to use smartphones within classrooms as an instructional tool only. In these cases special arrangements will be made and clear parameters for use will be communicated to both students and administrative staff. Exceptions to these rules must go through the front office. Cell phone use on field trips and other school sponsored events will be handled on a case by case basis. Students who fail to comply with this policy will be required to leave their phone or device in the office and parents will be notified. The phone will be released in person to a parent or guardian.

DRESS CODE

STUDENT DRESS REQUIREMENTS

Student Dress Requirements: Students must wear appropriate clothing that is comfortable, clean and in good repair. Clothing should be safe and allow students to focus their attention and the attention of others on learning and school activities. Clothing that in any way distracts from the educational goals of the school is subject to prohibition.

● No distinction will be made in our dress code requirements that would establish different standards for different genders.
● No articles of clothing may contain obscene, offensive or distracting messages.
● Clothing must conform with a traditional school environment. Older children should be aware that they are models for younger children in the school.
● Any clothing that is too revealing or that distracts from the instructional integrity of the classroom is prohibited. These general rules may be adjusted based on the judgment of school staff. Parent and guardian support of the administration’s judgment on these matters is appreciated and expected.
● Clothing that fails to cover undergarments is not allowed.
● Students should come to school with warm coats, gloves, hats, and boots during the winter months to participate in explorations, extended field trips, outdoor time with class, and recess.
● Shoes must be worn at all times.

Athletic shoes are required for PE (no sandals or black soled shoes allowed). Primary students may not wear flip flops to school. The school shall make the sole determination if a student is in violation of the dress code. Violations will result in the student being asked to call home for appropriate clothing, wear P.E. clothes, or use t-shirts provided in the main office.
