Dress Code

At Harold S. Winograd K-8 School, we recognize that parents have the primary responsibility for selecting their child’s dress. However, the school has a responsibility to establish a safe environment and an atmosphere that is conducive to learning. 

Examples of inappropriate clothing include: shoes with wheels (heelies), bandanas, short-shorts, halter tops, tank tops, “spaghetti straps”, oversized clothing that allows underwear to be visible and/or imposes a tripping hazard, shirts with inappropriate or offensive slogans such as references to alcoholic beverages, tobacco, sex or foul language, etc., and clothing not worn as originally intended such as athletic undershirts being worn as a shirt or overalls not being properly hooked, etc.  Shirts and blouses should cover the stomach.  Caps and hats may not be worn indoors except for religious, cultural, and medical requirements.  

In an instance where unsuitable clothes are worn to school, the principal or her designee will inform the child that a change of clothes is necessary before he/she can return to class.
