🎒 Back to School Dress Code Reminder 🎒
As we kick off another fantastic school year at Orchard Park Academy, we need your help ensuring our Pumas arrive ready to learn and shine every single day! 🐾 Please take a moment to review our dress code guidelines with your student so we can keep our school environment safe, respectful, and focused on learning.
Dress Code Guidelines
Length of Clothing: Shorts, dresses, skirts, or similar clothing must be at least mid-thigh length.
Accessories: Sunglasses and hats should not be worn inside the building.
Appropriate Coverage: Clothing must not be sheer, tight, or low-cut, and should not expose private areas such as the stomach, buttocks, back, or chest. This includes midriffs, halter tops, backless clothing, tube tops, and garments made of fishnet or mesh.
Prohibited Items: Clothing, jewelry, or accessories should not advertise drugs, to***co, alcohol, or weapons; have sexual content; indicate gang affiliation or promote violence; be obscene, vulgar, or profane; threaten the safety or welfare of others; or promote activities against the student code of conduct.
Disruptive Items: Any item that disrupts the teaching and learning process is not allowed.
Non-Compliance
Any decisions concerning the appropriateness of any article of clothing will be made by the building principal (refer to the Superintendent's Policy).
Students not meeting the dress code requirement will call home for a change of clothing or will be asked to wear another shirt, etc., provided by the school.
In some instances, a note from the teacher will be sent home with students who are not meeting the dress code requirements, which a parent must sign and return.
Thank you for partnering with us to support our scholars' success! What are your Pumas most excited to wear on their first day back? ✨
