|
The way students dress has a direct impact upon their attitude and performance and the attitude and performance of others. In order to maintain a respectful, positive and productive educational environment, Yerba Buena Elementary School enforces the following dress code.
 The Yerba Buena Elementary School Dress Code is based on the California Education Code (35183.6) and the LVUSD Parent, Student, and Staff Legal Notification Handbook.
"Clothing or appearance that can create a class/school disturbance or distraction that interferes with the learning environment, or represents a danger to student health or welfare is not permitted." (p22)
Students should wear comfortable clothing that allows them to move safely and participate easily in a variety of activities such as art projects, sitting on the floor and/or strenuous physical activities.
- Shirts must be long enough that if hands are raised over the head, a bare midriff will not be exposed.
- Shirt straps must be at least one inch wide (no strapless tops).
- Outfits that show, or appear to show, underwear are not permitted.
- No baggy or over sized pants. Pants must be able to stay up and not touch the ground.
- Skirts and shorts must be worn with a hem that reaches the tips of the fingers when arms are extended down the thigh.
- No shoes with open toes and/or open backs (flip flops, sandals, clogs, crocs, etc.)
- No shoes with high heels or skate wheels.
- Sun protective clothing (including hats, caps, sunglasses) are permitted when outdoors.
- Hanging chains, dangling jewelry (earrings, necklaces and/or bracelets) that are safety hazards and/or distractions cannot be worn in school.
- Unnatural hair color and/or makeup is not permitted in school as it is a distraction to the educational environment.
Clothing which depicts any of the following is not permitted:
- offensive or vulgar language
- inappropriate pictures or innuendos relating to sex
- advertisements for alcohol, cigarettes, or other controlled substances
- breaking the law, violence, racial, ethnic, and/or racial slurs
Consequence for non-compliance with dress code:
Any staff member may refer a student to the office to call their parent for a change of clothing. If a parent cannot be reached, the office will provide a tee shirt or shorts to be worn for the day. The borrowed items must be washed and returned the following day.
