DRESS CODE

All students will dress appropriately and be well groomed for school to reflect their willingness and commitment to participate in their education at Corridor Community Academy. Clothing should be neat, clean, and modest. Modest means that clothing and appearance does not bring unnecessary attention to students. All clothing should fit without being too small or too baggy. Safety and health are always priorities, so shoes are to be worn at all times. Chewing gum is never allowed on the school campus. Hats, caps, or bandanas are not to be worn inside the buildings.

Shirts: Collared long or short-sleeved shirts in white, navy, or burgundy. Polo, turtleneck, and buttoned shirts are all acceptable. Sweaters or sweatshirts of white, navy, or burgundy may be worn over one of the other shirts for warmth. All shirts, sweaters, and sweatshirts may have the school logo embroidered on them, but should not have other writing or designs. All shirts need to be long enough so that there is no gap between shirts and pants, even with arms raised or extended.

Pants: Khaki pants, walking shorts, skirts, skorts, or jumpers. A plain brown or black belt is to be worn with all clothing having belt loops, and pants and shorts need to fit without being baggy. Jumpers, shorts, skorts, and skirts need to extend beyond the tips of the student’s finger when arms are at the sides.

Shoes: Athletic shoes, predominantly white or black, are appropriate for inside and outside the buildings. Socks are to be white and ankle length. For safety reasons, sandals and shoes with platforms are not allowed to be worn at Corridor Community Academy.

Hair: Hairstyles should be conservative and neat, and are to be natural hair colors of black, brown, auburn, red, or blonde. Artificial colors like pink, purple, or green are not acceptable. Nor are extreme hairstyles with overuse of gel or mousse.

Jewelry: All jewelry should be small and safe for active student wear. Long earrings and large necklaces or bracelets can become entangled and present safety hazards.

If a student or family member is in doubt about any clothing, hairstyle, or jewelry item being appropriate for school, the principal or office manager will be happy to answer questions. It is important to remember that distractions in school keep students from doing their best, and the principal will make the final decision about any dress code issues that cause such distractions.

If a student’s clothing or appearance is judged to be disruptive, unsafe, immodest, or unhealthy, the student will be asked to correct the situation. The student may be asked to contact a parent to bring more appropriate clothing, or the school will provide alternative clothing for the student to wear during the day. Continued lack of cooperation with dress code policies may result in further disciplinary action by the school administration.
