Mission Statement for School Dress Codes
 

Fairview Elementary School maintains a safe, positive environment where learning and character development are emphasized.  We work hard to encourage neatness, cleanliness and self-respect among our Fairview family.  In order to uphold this safe, positive environment and minimize distractions from learning, we ask that students, staff, and visitors follow our dress code.

Dress Code

Clothing should not be a distraction.  In order to maintain our positive learning environment, the following guidelines are in place:

• Spaghetti straps, tank tops, bare midriffs, fishnet or see-through material are not appropriate for school.

• Sleeveless shirt straps should be at least the width of a credit card.

• Shorts, skirts and dresses should reach at least halfway to the knee.

• Pants, jeans, shorts and slacks should fit at the waist or a belt should be worn.

• Underwear should not be visible.

• Any apparel or dress that advertises or promotes products or activities prohibited by law or the Board of Education is not allowed.  This included profanity, illustrations, suggestive or unkind language.

• Students participate in either recess or gym each day.  For this reason, students should wear shoes that allow them to run and play easily and safely.  In order to fully participate in recess activities or PE, students should not wear flip-flops, high heels, or other shoes that inhibit physical activity.  We have experienced problems with mulch piercing crocs and going into the foot.  Heelys are not appropriate footwear for school.  S

• Jewelry - dangling earrings are a potential safety hazard and should not be worn at school.

• No visible body piercings, other than ears, are allowed.

• Hairstyles and colors should not be a distraction to others.  Colors should be those that occur naturally.

• Make-up (including eye make-up and lipstick) is not appropriate for elementary school.

• No head coverings - hats, visors, or bandanas are allowed (exceptions - school spirit hat day).
