 Dear Parents and Guardians:

 We ask all students come to school dressed appropriately for an adult office work environment.  When it is determined that a student’s clothing does not comply with the dress code, you may be asked to change into appropriate clothing before attending class. 

The Principal or the Principal’s designee has the final authority for interpreting whether a student’s apparel conforms to the dress code and is appropriate dress for an adult office work environment. 

Below are some pointers to keep in mind when getting dressed for school. 

• No pants that fall below the waist
• No shirts with inappropriate slogans or pictures
• No low cut or see-through shirts or sweaters
• No short tops which expose your stomach
• No short shorts.  All shorts must reach the end of your fingertips.
• No short skirts.  All skirts must reach the end of your fingertips.
• No visible undergarments
• No extremely tight clothing
• Not sure if it’s appropriate? DON’T WEAR IT!

Violations of the dress code will result in disciplinary action as outlined in the NYC Department of Education Discipline Code. 

        B09 *Wearing clothing, headgear (e.g., caps or hats), or other items that are unsafe or disruptive to the educational process (A-E only) 

Range of Possible Disciplinary Responses to Be Used in Addition to Guidance Interventions

1. Admonishment by pedagogical school staff          
2. Student/teacher conference
3. Reprimand by appropriate supervisor (e.g., assistant principal, principal)
4. Parent conference
5. In-school disciplinary action (e.g., formal restorative conference, detention, exclusion from extracurricular activities, or communal lunchtime) 

Very truly yours, 

Matthew Barone

Principal
