Whitmore-Bolles Elementary School Dress Code<\/p>\n
The purpose of this dress code is to enhance school safety, improve the learning environment, and promote good behavior. Children\u2019s attitudes toward schoolwork and behavior are related to the clothing that they wear. Therefore, we recommend clothing and footwear suitable for a working atmosphere and appropriate weather. In order to achieve this goal, the following guidelines are in place at Whitmore-Bolles Elementary<\/p>\n
Shoes
\nTennis shoes or sturdy, form-fitting shoes are recommended for the school day.
\nNo backless, open-toed, or high-heeled shoes are permitted. (Flip flops are not permitted; sandals with back straps can be worn.)
\nNo shoes with wheels (can be worn if wheels are removed.)<\/p>\n
Pants, shorts, skirts
\nPants and shorts need to fit snuggly at the waist.
\nSagging clothing is not acceptable.
\nExtremely brief shorts and short skirts are not appropriate for school. Mid-thigh length or longer is appropriate.
