Dress Code

Home/Our School/Dress Code

WJCC Middle School Dress Code Policy 2022-2023

Doing our best and being successful every day relies on looking and feeling our best. Clothing and dress can be a form of individual expression; however, it should always convey a sense of personal pride and confidence that is conducive to learning. In order to ensure that our learning environment reflects a professional atmosphere, WJCC middle schools have the following guidelines and expectations for school dress.

If contacted by the school administration, a parent/guardian may be requested to come to the school to provide acceptable clothing. If a parent/guardian is unavailable or cannot be reached, the student will be provided with a change of clothing. Students unable to correct their dress may receive low-level disciplinary consequences.

 

Our Beliefs

  • All students should be able to dress comfortably for school and engage in the educational environment without fear of or actual unnecessary discipline, body shaming, or discrimination.
  • All students will learn and practice skills of personal responsibility and decision-making through making choices regarding daily dress that allow for individual expression while also preparing them for life beyond high school.

Students Must Wear:

  • Shirt/Dress (or the equivalent) – Tops must cover the chest from one armpit across to the other armpit and down to the waist so that the stomach is covered. Tops must have straps.
  • Pants/Jeans (or the equivalent)
  • Shoes – Appropriate athletic shoes must be worn in PE class.

Students May Wear:

  • Fitted pants, including nontransparent leggings, yoga pants, and skinny jeans
  • Ripped jeans without exposed underwear, genitals, or buttocks
  • Clothing with commercial or athletic slogans
  • Tank tops
  • Athletic attire
