Woodridge Primary school - dress code

Dress & Grooming

Students are expected to dress appropriately at all times. Any fashion (dress,
accessory, or hairstyle) that disrupts the educational process or represents a safety risk
will not be permitted.

Students should consider the following questions when dressing for school:
Does my clothing expose too much? (No) (Fingertip rule)
Does my clothing advertise something that is prohibited to minors? (No)
Are there obscene, profane, drug-related, gang-related, or inflammatory
messages on my clothing? (No)
Am I dressed appropriately for the weather? (Yes)
Do I feel comfortable with my appearance? (Yes)

Guidelines for GIRLS:
1) Hair should be neat and clean and of a natural color.
2) Slacks, jeans, skirts or dresses are preferred. Regular shorts are permitted if
appropriate for the weather. Skirts, shorts, and dresses should be mid-thigh or
longer in length. No biker pants or shorts are permitted.
3) Halter/tank tops or other clothing that exposes the midriff or back are not
permitted.
4) Shoes must be worn at all times. High-heeled shoes and floppy, open-back
sandals can be dangerous and should not be worn.
