This letter is to inform you of a wonderful program Burnham School has to reward students with extraordinary behavior every week. The Dress-Down reward is every Friday during the school year for students who have no infractions resulting in a referral for the week. Students will NOT be required to wear their school uniform on Friday. Students who have a referral during the week will NOT be allowed to dress-down and must wear their school uniform. Please review the School Dress Code policy outlined in the Student Handbook. Any questions about dress down days or appropriate clothing can be directed to your child's teacher or contact the school office.
Respectfully,
Jennifer Pozdzal
Principal Burnham School
6-25 School Dress Code / Uniform Policy / Dress Down Days
On days when students are not required to wear school uniforms, students are expected to wear clothing in a neat, clean, and well-fitting manner while on school property and/or in attendance at school-sponsored activities. Students are to use discretion in their dress and are not permitted to wear apparel that causes a substantial disruption in the school environment.
Student dress (including accessories) may not advertise, promote, or picture alcoholic beverages, illegal drugs, drug paraphernalia, violent behavior, or other inappropriate images.
Student dress (including accessories) may not display lewd, vulgar, obscene, or offensive language or symbols, including gang symbols.
Hats, coats, bandanas, sweatbands, and sunglasses may not be worn in the building during the school day.
Hairstyles, dress, and accessories that pose a safety hazard are not permitted.
Clothing with holes, rips, tears, and clothing that is otherwise poorly fitting, showing skin, and/or undergarments may not be worn at school.
The length of shorts or skirts must be appropriate for the school environment. Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times, no flip-flops or backless shoes.
Yoga pants, leggings as pants, or any tight-fitting stretch material or spandex attire are not permitted.
If there is any doubt about dress and appearance, the building superintendent/principal will make the final decision.
A student whose dress causes a substantial disruption of the orderly process of school functions or endangers the health or safety of the student, other students, staff or others may be subject to discipline.
