Dress Code

Dress Code & Personal Items

This is new to Park View School of Discovery this year! At our elementary school, we do not require uniforms, but we do expect students to dress in a way that is appropriate, respectful, and conducive to a positive learning environment. While we do not have a school-specific dress code, we follow the district dress code guidelines to ensure consistency and fairness across all schools. Clothing should be comfortable and suitable for school activities, including recess and physical education. Pajama pants, clothing with inappropriate language or images, and anything considered overly distracting or disruptive to the learning environment should not be worn. We encourage students to express themselves while also maintaining a standard that supports focus, safety, and respect for everyone in the school community.

Students must abide by:

  1. Students must not wear gloves or sunglasses while inside the building.
  2. Students may not wear head coverings except for religious or medical documented purposes.
  3. Whether standing or sitting, items must cover underclothing, shoulders, back, buttocks, stomach, or chest.
  4. Items must not be see- through

 

Students may not wear:

  1. Items that make the student unidentifiable (except as a religious observation)
  2. Items that contain sexually suggestive language or messages that are prohibited by the student code of conduct.
  3. Items that can be used as weapons. Including items with spikes or chains, or items that could be used to conceal weapons.
  4. Wear hoodies inside the school building
  5. Items that promote illegal activities for students including drugs, alcohol, tobacco, weapons and/or gang affiliation, or violent conduct.
  6. Items that depict hate speech, intimidation, or intolerance toward protected groups that is prohibited by the student code of conduct.

 

Appropriate footwear for physical education includes the type of shoe that is a closed-toe sport type, appropriate for running, indoor/outdoor activities. No flip-flops or sandals are to be worn for PE classes.

Hats, gloves, sunglasses, hoodies and other outdoor wear may be worn to school but may not be worn in the building.

It is recommended that students do not bring expensive personal items to school. A secure storage area is not available in every classroom and replacement for losses or damage is not possible, the school will not be responsible for the loss. Electronic devices like cell phones, CDs, Gameboy, radios, headphones, etc. are entertainment devices which are not to be at school.

Cell phones are disruptive to the teaching and learning environment at school, if your child is in need of a cell phone, classroom teachers will collect them each morning, storing them in a safe place, and returning them at the end of the school day. If the student does not turn the phone in each morning and it is “collected” by an adult, it will be taken to the principal’s office, where parents may retrieve it. Please know, students will be the responsible party to inform parents they need to pick it up from the principal.

The trading, buying, or selling of personal items like special cards, toys, etc. is never allowed, due to conflicts which may arise from such transactions.
