Dress Code

With the weather getting warmer, please review Fairmount's Dress Code.

This time of year I get a lot of questions regarding our dress code. Please review the following that is in our Fairmount OneNote>Staff Information>FA Staff Handbook – in the Discipline & Expectations column as well as in our behavior plan.
 Fairmount Dress Code.docx classroom teachers please include in your next family newsletter.

Please note there is requirement for width of straps on tops, they just must have straps.   This is the most common question I answer this time of year, and if we have a warm September.

Fairmount Dress Code 
 
Student Dress Code 
  • Fairmount Elementary respects students’ rights to express themselves in the way they dress. All students who attend Fairmount Elementary are also expected to respect the school community by dressing appropriately for a K-5 educational environment. Student attire should facilitate participation in learning as well as the health and safety of students and the adults that supervise them. This policy is intended to provide guidance for students, staff, and parents. 

Minimum Requirements: 
Clothing must cover areas from one armpit across to the other armpit, down to approximately 3 to 4 inches in length on the upper thighs (see images below). Tops must have shoulder straps. Rips or tears in clothing should be less than 3 to 4 inches in length. Undergarments should not be exposed. 
Shoes must be always worn and should be safe for the school environment. 
See-through or mesh garments must be worn with appropriate coverage underneath that meet the minimum requirements of the dress code. 
 
Additional Requirements: 
  1. Clothing may not depict, imply, advertise, or advocate illegal, violent, or lewd conduct, weapons, or the use of alcohol, tobacco, marijuana, or other controlled substances. 
  2. Clothing may not display or imply vulgar, discriminatory, or obscene language or images. 
  3. Clothing may not state, imply, or depict hate speech/imagery targeting groups based on race, ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity, religious affiliation, or any other protected classification. 
  4. Sunglasses may not be worn inside the building. 
  5. Clothing and accessories that endanger student or staff safety may not be worn. 
  6. Apparel, jewelry, accessories, tattoos, or manner of grooming that, by virtue of its color, arrangement, trademark or any other attribute, denotes membership in a gang that advocates illegal or disruptive behavior is prohibited. 
  7. Hats and Hoods are at the discretion of the teacher.  
The administration at each school reserves the right to determine what constitutes appropriate dress. Students who do not adhere to these guidelines may not be allowed to attend class. Parents/Guardians will be called if appropriate clothing is not available or the student refuses dress-code appropriate clothing.

Birthday Treats at School

To honor students’ special days and support minimum disruptions to our learning environment we are implementing a new policy to provide clarity for bringing outside treats to school. 
If you would like to bring a treat to celebrate your child’s birthday, please follow these expectations:  

  1. Item must be store bought and include label of ingredients and allergy information.  
  2. No hard candy is allowed due to choking hazard. 
  3. Items must be small or bite size. For example, cookies or bite-size cupcakes are appropriate. Cakes or numerous items would not be appropriate and will be sent home.  
  4. If your classroom is nut or peanut free, items must have clear labeling that they are nut or peanut free AND were made in a nut/peanut free facility.  
  5. Treats will be provided during lunch only. Please have items at school prior to your child’s scheduled lunch. If they arrive later, we will pass them out the next day.  
  6. No outside drinks.  
  7. No party items. 
 
Thank you for your support and cooperation,  

Bente Klatt, Principal

Are You Moving?

Classroom placement is thoughtfully considered in order to create balanced  classrooms. If your family anticipates moving from Fairmount’s service area or if you have already moved and your student(s) will be attending a different school next year, please contact the school office. This information will help us to correctly determine our class sizes for next year.
