Dress Code
Student Dress Expectations-
Escalona School needs your cooperation in building the proper standards of dress and grooming among our students. Students are to be dressed in clothing and footwear, which allows them to participate in games and activities. All students should be appropriately well groomed for school. Parents are asked to help discourage "message" t-shirts of questionable taste. Clothing with messages regarding alcohol, tobacco, drugs or sex are not allowed. For safety reasons, flip-flops or sandals without a back strap may not be worn. School Uniforms- The Board of Education of the Norwalk-La Mirada Unified School District approved mandatory school uniforms for elementarty and middle school students. Our district wide school uniform consists of dark navy blue bottoms and plain white tops. Students may also wear the Escalona shirt with the school logo on any day. There is a form for "Exemption from the School Uniform Requirement." You may obtain this form from the office if you are requesting that your child not follow the uniform code. This form needs to be signed yearly. Escalona Dress for Success- Students shall not wear the following: 1. Any clothing/apparel which: a) is considered unsafe, dangerous or a health hazard. Pants have to be able to stay on the body above the underwear line without a belt. Belts must be kept inside belt loops-no dangling or excessively long belts. Shirts must be of the appropriate size for the student. Open toe sandals, flip-flops or shoes without backs are not safe for playground activities and should not be worn. b) Contains offensive or obscene symbols, signs, slogans or words degrading any person's race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, disability, gender or sexual orientation, c) Contains language or symbols oriented toward violence, sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco or vandalism. 2. Any attire or grooming disruptive to the instructional process which may include but is not limited to : a) Bare midriffs, shirts must not expose skin even when hands are fully raised, b) Halter tops, c) Short short/skirts; Length must be at or below top of palm where fingers begin with hands extended down at sides, d) Tight or revealing clothing. No spaghetti strap tops, e) Clothing which allows underwear to be exposed, f) Hair nets, g) Bandanas that signify gang membership, h) Any combination of clothing which law enforcement agencies currently consider gang related. In addition to the dress standards, Escalona Elementary School students are not permitted to wear extreme hair styles (spiked, dyed hair of non-natural hair color, etc.), extreme jewelry, facial glitter, tatoos and/or other adornments that may distract from the educational environment. Hats: Students are permitted to wear hats while outside for the purpose of sun protection. Hats may not be worn inside the classroom. While baseball style hats do not offer much sun protection, they may be worn outside as long as they do not contain a sports team logo or offensive language. Bills must face forward. |
