Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary School

Dress Code

2021-2022

Policy Statement: The SBDM Council adopted a dress code for students; there is no longer a uniform policy. The policy for students’ dress code is as follows:

Breckinridge-Franklin Elementary has a dress code that is designed to do the following:

• Make certain all students are comfortable, safe, and ready to learn.

• Teach students the value of dressing appropriately for different occasions.

• Help students develop a sense of pride in their appearance.

• Enable students to participate in all activities that they may encounter throughout the day.

• Reduce distractions in the classroom for the student and his or her classmates.

To accomplish this, the following dress code rules apply:

• Students are expected to wear comfortable shoes that cover their toes. (No sandals, no flip-flops, no high heels, and no “heelies” are allowed.)

• No tops that show the student’s stomach area should be worn at school.

• No tank top shirts or tank top dresses are to be worn at school.

• Pants must be worn at the student’s waist. Students will not be allowed to wear pants that sag.

• No hooded sweatshirts are to be worn inside the school building between 8:30 AM and 3:45 PM.

• Coats and Jackets are expected to be hung up before entering the classroom.

• No advertisements for tobacco, alcohol, firearms, violence, or inappropriate language

• No hats are to be worn in the school building.

Administration reserves the right to determine appropriate dress. This includes no offensive jewelry or clothing.

The Principal reserves the right to amend this dress code on a case-‐by-‐case basis, as needed, if a student’s attire is deemed to be distracting to the educational environment.
