Dress Code

Proper clothing is required while at school.

1. 1. Clothing with writing or symbols that advertise or encourage the use of illegal drugs, alcohol, tobacco, or that has profanity or rude gestures, or satanic messages on them are NOT allowed.
   2. Clothing with bare midriffs, low necklines, slits, or holes; caps or hats; bandanas or any other gang-related articles are NOT allowed. Excessively baggy clothes are not allowed.
   3. Any student wearing or carrying gang, satanic, drug, or alcohol paraphernalia or symbols, or making gestures that symbolize gang membership, shall be referred to the principal or designee on the offence. The student’s parent/guardian shall be contacted, and the student shall be sent home to change or be required to change at school – an absence will
      not be excused.

*Gang-related clothing may vary from school to school and may change from year to year. Some examples of clothing that are prohibited because of being gang-related are: sagging clothes that are purposely too large for the individual wearing them, belts hanging down, chains hanging out, and any clothing containing gang-related jargon such as the word “homies”.

We believe that students at Theodore Roosevelt School are responsible individuals and will dress and act accordingly. Basic rules of cleanliness, safety, neatness, and modesty must be observed. Any further violations of the dress code will result in additional disciplinary action. Please see pages 5, 6 & 18 in the Student Handbook.
