Just a reminder, as the weather warms up and the layers come off, that LMS does enforce the dress code. The basic idea behind the dress code is to maintain the learning environment for all students attending the middle school and prepare students for dress code expectations that they will likely encounter in the workforce. Some of the most common infractions that we see in our halls include:
* T-shirts with inappropriate language or graphics
* T-shirts cut open the length of the sides
* Shorts and skirts that are shorter than fingertip length
* Spaghetti straps or shirts that show bare midriff
* Articles of clothing that allow for underwear to be visible
Our buildings do get warm as the months progress, and the expectation for students and staff is that we dress in a manner that is appropriate to the work we do in our school. Students caught wearing clothing in violation of the dress code will be asked to change. If alternative clothing is not available to them at the school, they will be asked to call or go home to obtain acceptable clothing. Thank you for your support!
Please see LMS Dress Code Policy:
LMS DRESS CODE
The primary responsibility for following the dress code rests with the parents and students. Parents should make sure their student follows the guidelines listed below. Dress or appearance that causes the disruption of the educational process, or presents health or safety problems will not be tolerated. Students will immediately be required to change.
The following types of clothing will not be allowed at LMS:
- Hats, visors, hoods, bandanas, sweatbands, or sun glasses. (Hats and sunglasses may be worn outside during recess/lunch periods)
- Revealing shirts such as halter tops or spaghetti straps (1” strap required),
- Backless tops, and/or shirts that expose cleavage or bare midriffs.
- Shorts or skirts shorter than fingertip length, regardless of underclothing. This includes jeans with slits or holes above fingertip length.
- Clothing where undergarments are visible
- Undergarments may not be worn outside of clothing
- Clothing that condones violence, ridicules a particular person or group, or promotes discrimination
- Logos, innuendos, symbols or the like that are sexually suggestive (e.g. Porn Star, Playboy Bunny, Pimp, etc.)
