Dress Code Reminder

As the weather warms, and the heady scent of Spring wafts through the air, I'd like to remind parents and students that we do have a dress code for students. From the Student Handbook (pg 65):

Dress

While Medway High School endeavors to respect individual rights of expression, inappropriate clothing that interferes with the learning process or violates accepted standards of school dress is not acceptable. Each student is expected to take pride in his or her appearance and to dress responsibly in order to uphold the standards of a school environment. Clothing that will be considered inappropriate can include, but is not limited to the following:

• clothing that causes skin to be exposed at the waist or cleavage to be revealed
• clothing that causes underwear to be revealed
• shorts or skirts above the mid-thigh level. Mid-thigh is determined as the point where fingertips end when arms are placed at the side of the body.
• halter-tops, off the shoulder, low-cut, and strapless tops.
• clothing with offensive or tobacco/alcohol/substance-related designs or logos
• hoods worn on the head are not permitted during the school day

Any student dressed inappropriately for school will be asked to correct his/her dress or will be sent home. If necessary, the student will be sent to the office and provided with a tee-shirt.
