I will listen, do my work, and learn. I will respect the feelings, property, and rights of others. I will be a good citizen by doing what is right not because I'm being watched by teachers, but because it is the right thing to do for myself and others. |

Dress Code |
 |
The standards for Shelby County Schools dress reflect “common sense”
and a concern for each child’s comfort, safety, cleanliness, and sense
of modesty. There is a strong relationship between neat, appropriate attire
and a positive learning environment. Apparel or appearance which tends to
draw attention to an individual rather than to a learning situation must be
avoided.
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DRESS CODE
To help create the best learning environment for elementary students, the
following standards for student dress must be observed in all Shelby County
Elementary Schools:
1. Pants must be worn at the waist and must be appropriately sized and at
a safe length.
2. Head apparel (such as hoods, hat, etc.), except for religious or medical
reasons, must not be worn inside the school building.
3. Footwear is required and must be safe and appropriate for indoor or outdoor
physical activity.
4. Clothing or accessories may not display offensive, vulgar language or images
and must not advertise products which students may not legally purchase.
5. For students in Grades 3-5, “short shorts”, mini-skirts, and
skin-tight outer material such as spandex are inappropriate attire. No shorts
or skirts shorter than 4 inches above the knee are allowed.
6. Shirts, blouses, and dresses must completely cover the abdomen, back, and
shoulders, and shirts or tops must cover the waistband of pants, shorts, or
skirts with no midriff visible and must be no longer than wrist-length.
7. Waist length sweaters, sweatshirts, and lightweight jackets (appropriately
sized) can be worn inside school for warmth.
The school administration reserves the right to determine whether the student’s
attire and appearance are within the acceptable limits. In matters of opinion,
the judgment of the principal/designee shall prevail.
The principal may allow exceptions for school-wide programs or special classroom
activities.
The school administration will administer appropriate consequences for policy
infractions.
This policy does not preclude individual schools from piloting alternative
dress policies or standards with permission from the Superintendent and the
Board of Education after extensive consultation with parents, teachers, and
students. Any deviation from the system-wide policy must be submitted in writing
to the Superintendent/Designee for review and recommendation to the Board
of Education following Shelby County Schools Policy #6205.1 and Procedures
for Voluntary by School Standardized Dress Guidelines.
