FELLOWSHIP ELEMENTARY
STUDENT DRESS CODE
Student dress and appearance shall not be hazardous to the health or safety of anyone in the school community; nor shall it have a negative effect on or be disruptive to the educational process.
The home and the school need to cooperate in the matter of dress. School is the child's place of business, and children who are dressed in the appropriate clothing seem to be more successful. Be aware that our school buildings are climate controlled and that students are outside for relatively short periods of time, therefore, they do not need extremely heavy or very scanty clothing. Students should adhere to the standard of dress and appearance at all school sponsored activities.
1. Students must wear shoes or boots. No cleats or house shoes are allowed.
2. No bare midriffs, sheer or transparent or revealing articles of clothing are allowed.
3. Any article of clothing advertising alcoholic beverages, tobacco, drugs, or vulgar sayings are not to be worn to school.
4. Shirts worn by boys, grades 4 through 12, must have sleeves. All clothing in grades Pre-K - 12 must be hemmed.
5. Shirts designed for underwear are not to be worn without a regular shirt or blouse. All clothing designed as underwear is not to be worn to school as outer garments.
6. Bandanas are not allowed. No head bands or "do" rags.
7. Shades and caps are not to be worn inside the buildings.
8. Boys are not allowed to wear ear rings. Nose, facial, and/or other body rings are not allowed for anyone. These items will be confiscated and not returned.
9. Pajamas or extremely short or tight fitting articles of clothing will not be allowed. (Example: Lycra-Spandex bicycling pants)
10. Jogging suits or knit warm-up pants including wind suits, tear-away pants, or running pants will be allowed only in P.E. class.

12. Students are permitted to wear shorts in grades 7 - 12. Shorts can only be 6 inches above the knee. Shorts must not be too tight and must be hemmed. (Checking will be done by kneeling on floor and measuring 6 inches up.) For 7th and 8th grade, dresses can only be 4 inches above the knee when kneeling on the floor.
13. Students cannot wear clothing inside-out.
14. Pants must be worn at the waist. No slacking.
