At Palmer Jr. Middle School • No one has the right to interfere with the learning, safety, or well-being of others. • The expectation for all students is that you do what is expected, to the best of your ability.
Know the rules! • Your planner says: • “School is preparation for the world of work. Every work place has specific dress requirements. Students will be expected to dress in appropriate school attire.” • See pages 2-3 in your planner for additional details. • Disciplinary Consequences for Referrals: • Change of clothes to PE attire or “loaners” from Nurse Voran. • Phone call home. • Repeated referrals will be considered insubordination.
Bottoms • No visible skin above the knees! • Leggings/jeggings are okay. • Holes in jeans above the knee are not permitted unless there is no skin visible (leggings, patches, or opaque tights may be worn to cover skin.)
NO visible undergarments! • NO visible mid-riff!
Tops • Must have sleeves, cap sleeves, or shoulder covers wider than 2” • No “A shirts” • Must cover mid-riff • Must cover cleavage • May not be see-through • Will not display offensive or profane graphics • Will not advertise illegal substances
Skirts – We have two words for you: three inches. • Skirts must be no more than 3” above the top of your patella (your knee cap!) • To make sure your skirt is okay… try the Sticky Note test.
The 3” Sticky Note Test • Align the 3” Sticky w/ the top of your knee cap • Stand up straight, let your skirt sit where it falls naturally (don’t pull it down!) • If the bottom of the skirt touches the top of the sticky note, you’re good! • If the bottom of the skirt does not touch, you have a wardrobe malfunction. • Try this at home before you come to school - if you need a 3” sticky, see Ms. Berkley.
PE – “Dressing Out” • For full credit, you must bring appropriate athletic-wear to PE class: • T-Shirts (not tank tops!) • Appropriate shorts. • Appropriate athletic shoes with tight laces.
If you do not have appropriate dress-out gear for PE, you may participate but will only be able to earn a 60% at best for the day – that means you have to give 100% effort for just a D- !
Some final notes: • Shoes – You must wear shoes at all times; bedroom slippers don’t count as shoes. • Hats – Only on sanctioned hat days! • Heavy Outer Coats – Are NOT ALLOWED to be worn to class. • Backpacks – MUST be kept in your locker until the final bell of the day. • Hoodies – Hoods down, please. • Bandanas – Nope. (Not anywhere.)
