CWCS Dress Code

 

The CWCS dress code sets standards that promote a positive and safe learning environment for students.

Students shall dress appropriately for educational activities in which they will participate so as not to endanger their health, safety, or welfare, or that of others, or cause a disruption to the educational process.

Students dressed inappropriately will be subject to school discipline and will be sent home and required to travel to Waterford to do their testing on specified dates or may be required to wear a t-shirt provided by the school at the test site.

 

  • Clothing, accessories, and jewelry shall be free of writing, pictures, symbols or any other insignia which are crude, vulgar, profane, obscene, libelous, slanderous, or sexually suggestive. Clothing, accessories, or jewelry that degrade any cultural, religious or ethnic values, that advocate racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice or discrimination, or that promote sex, the use of tobacco, drugs, alcohol or violence or any unlawful acts (including gang activity) are prohibited.
  • Gang-related clothing or accessories, including but not limited to bandannas, or other symbols, emblems or insignia are prohibited. Gang-related web belts with or without punched out metal buckles are prohibited. School officials shall consider student history and information obtained from community agencies and resources when making these judgments. Dangerous clothing accessories are prohibited (i.e., spiked jewelry, studded collars, studded belts, hanging belts).
  • Clothes shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments, abdomen, back, and cleavage when sitting or standing.

 

The following articles or clothing are not permitted:

  • Back-less, strap-less, bare-midriff, or spaghetti strap tops
  • Bare feet, steel toed boots, or bedroom slippers
  • Low cut tops or dresses
  • Shorts, skirts, dresses above mid-thigh
  • Clothing with offensive or inflammatory message (see above)
  • Chains of any sort, wallet or utility-type chains
  • Dark glasses except for valid medical reasons authorized by the administration and verified in writing by a physician.
  • or any other article of clothing that does not meet the expectations set out in this policy

 

In general – the School dress code is conservative but comfortable. All students must dress neatly and modestly.
