Dress Code Guidelines: Ensuring Appropriate Attire at Groveport Community School
Groveport Community School enforces a school dress code policy. Students must adhere to this policy before arriving at school, through dismissal. No students will have permission to change clothing before their bus/pick-up. At Groveport Community School, we believe that appropriate clothing supports a positive learning environment. The school dress code will be for all students:
- Solid color, collared shirt. Shirts may be long or short-sleeved and are to be worn buttoned and tucked in at all times. Imagine school logo t-shirts may be worn.
- Cold weather attire may include any appropriate sweaters, cardigans,
sweatshirts, or hoodies. No hoodies, jackets, or coats may be worn
throughout the school day. - Close-toed shoes should allow your child to run and play safely during recess and physical education class. (Tennis shoes are preferred.) Tennis shoes are required on days the child is participating in physical education. Shoes may not cause a distraction, have wheels, or otherwise, be deemed unsafe. No sandal/slipper-type shoes are permitted. No heels/wedges higher than two inches.
- Khaki (tan), black or blue pants, shorts, skorts, skirts, and jumpers are to be worn firmly at the waist.
- All shorts, skirts, dresses, and skorts must be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee.
- Tights/leggings are only permitted under a uniform skirt, skort, dress, or shorts.
- Leggings should not be worn by themselves.
- Jeans (including skinny jeans, skinny khakis, and jeggings) are not permitted unless it is dress down day. Parents will be notified of scheduled dress-down days.
Dress Code Violations
Personal Items
The school will not accept responsibility for lost, stolen or destroyed personal items of students. Students are encouraged not to bring belongings to school, such as basketballs and/or footballs, which are not for education. More specifically, electronic games, toys, CD players, cell phones, mp3 players, other recording devices and/or boom boxes are not permitted unless written permission has been granted by the teacher.
However, if the items are brought to the school, it is under the understanding that the school is not responsible for lost, stolen or destroyed personal items. If any items deemed inappropriate are brought to school they will be confiscated and held in the main office until it is properly retrieved by the parent, guardian or caregiver.
