Student Dress Code

 

At 122nd Street Elementary, we insist that our students show good taste in their appearance and are neat and clean at all times.  Please be aware that it is only in the best interest of the children that we establish a uniform standard.  Children will be less likely to focus negatively or unnecessarily on the attire of their fellow classmates allowing for more time on instructional activities.

Proper Attire

1. All children must be in uniform every day. 

2. For the student safety, the wearing of jewelry is restricted to watches, small earrings (posts) and small rings.  No dangle or hoop earrings, necklaces, or bracelets should ever be worn.

3. Appropriate shoes are to be worn that ensure student safety while at school.  All shoes with laces must be tied at all times.  Sandals, clogs, or open shoes of any kind may not be worn.

4. Hats are not allowed.

5. On “Casual Dress Days”, proper school attire must be worn.  Pants must be the correct length and worn at the waist (NO SAGGING CLOTHES ALLOWED).  Shorts must be knee length.  Skirts must not be offensive in nature.  Tank tops may not be worn at any time. 

Personal Appearance

  • Children should take personal pride in their appearance.  Uniforms should be clean and in good repair.  Parents/guardians should also be sure that students maintain good habits of personal hygiene and grooming (i.e. bathing, neat and clean hair, hands and fingernails.
  • Clothing, jewelry and personal items, such as backpacks, or book bags, with language or images that are vulgar, sexually suggestive, discriminatory, obscene, libelous, contain threats, or that promote illegal or violent content such as the unlawful use of weapons, drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or drug paraphernalia, are prohibited.
  • This dress code will be strictly enforced at all levels. Boys and girls should be in their proper uniform at all times.  We ask that parents closely monitor their children’s dress.

All students shall be required to show proper attention to personal cleanliness, health, neatness, safety and suitability of clothing and appearance for all school activities.  In every case, the dress and grooming of students shall be clean and shall not:
