West University Elementary School

Dress Code Guidelines

These guidelines are intended to promote a positive self-image and good conduct by eliminating any disruptions to the normal educational process as well as providing for student safety. All West University Elementary students are expected to take pride in their appearance and follow these dress code guidelines:

• Clothing will be neat and clean.

• Shorts, skirts, and dresses will not be higher than mid-thigh.

• Clothing must cover the body from the shoulders to mid-thigh. No spaghetti strap, tank, tube, or halter tops are allowed.

• No short-shorts, biking shorts, over-sized, or baggy clothing.

• No inappropriate or suggestive wording on clothing; clothing with advertisements for alcohol or tobacco are not allowed.

• Hair will be well-groomed, clean, and kept out of the eyes.

• Laced shoes must be tied. No thongs or flip flops.

• Hats, caps, and other head gear may not be worn in the building.

• Make-up may not be worn.

• Boys may not wear earrings.

• Fridays will be designated as our West U. Spirit Days. Students are encouraged to wear any West U. Elementary tee-shirts, sweatshirts, etc., or our school colors of red and blue.

• The school reserves the right to ask a student to change clothes or hairstyles if these items cause disruption to the educational process or present a threat to safety.

If there are any extenuating circumstances that would prevent a student from following these guidelines, parents must consult the principal.
