Jeffersonville elementary school DRESS CODE

Appropriate dress and cleanliness are vital to each member of the school community. Developing good grooming habits is a part of the educational program. Wearing inappropriate dress to school can have a negative influence on the educational process and the educational climate of the school. Each student should dress in a manner that is appropriate for school and its related activities.

The following guidelines are followed in determining whether or not a student’s attire is appropriate: • Artificial nails of any kind are not allowed at JES. Artificial nails at an early age are a safety concern and

hinder the early writing process. • If face coverings are required, (i.e. masks, face shields, gaiters, etc.) they must cover the nose and mouth while

on campus. Face coverings may be removed temporarily at the discretion of the building principal or designee for specific instructional purposes or when social distancing is maintained. The school will adhere to the most recent COVID-19 guidelines or district policies regarding face coverings. Students are required to carry a clear or mesh book bag during school hours, during school events, and on field trips.
