We have modelled our dress code on the  one at Glenview, which is actually similar to most schools in TDSB.<\/p>\n<p>In the past couple of years, we have shared  this dress code with Grade 6 students as they prepare for the  transition to middle school. It has become increasingly relevant for  younger students as well, as they need to get used to the concept of  appropriate dress for the learning environment before the pre-adolescent  stage sets in. Recently we have noticed some changes in head gear  fashions and students are coming to school with a variety of styles,  which are a creative expression of their individual tastes. As cute as  they are, we also need to remind them that hats are not worn in the  classroom, but can be worn during recreational times during the school  day. The general guidelines are:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li>Tank      tops must have a 3 finger width strap<\/li>\n<li>Shorts       or skirts must be as long as or longer than the length at the end of  the      child&#8217;s fingers when standing straight with arms down at  sides.<\/li>\n<li>T      shirts must be long enough so that there is no exposure of the midriff, and are not worn off the shoulder.<\/li>\n<li>No      &#8220;low riding&#8221; of jeans or other pants.<\/li>\n<li>Hats      are to be off inside the school, but can be worn outside at recess or      lunch.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>Please have a conversation with your  child(ren) about the concept of appropriateness. For example, we do not  wear the same clothes to school or work as we wear at the beach, at the  cottage or sometimes on a weekend in our back yard or at the park. If a  student comes to school dressed in a way that does not follow this dress  code, a note will be written in the agenda reminding parents to check  this message. A second time will mean a phone call home. Thank you for  your understanding and cooperation.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>At last week&#8217;s APA meeting, we discussed a school dress code.
