Reed Intermediate School 2011-2012 Dress Code Guidelines

The overall guideline for dress at Reed Intermediate School requires that all dress be appropriate and not distracting to learning. When clothing does not meet these requirements, students will call home for an alternative outfit or wear clothing that is available in the office.

Shirts, shorts, and dresses must not be overly brief or distracting. A helpful guideline is that shorts or skirts should be mid- thigh length.
Revealing necklines, strapless tops are prohibited; no underwear (including bra straps) should be visible at any time.
Exposed midriffs are prohibited.
Students must wear footwear at all times.
Closed-toe footwear is strongly recommended. For the safety of our students, in addition to closed- toe footwear, pants or shorts are required for climbing on playground equipment. Sneakers with wheelies are not allowed.
Articles of clothing which have inappropriate words/ pictures, alcohol/ tobacco references, or phrases with double meanings may not be worn.
Chains and bandanas may not be worn.
Outerwear, including jackets, coats, headgear (including hats) and sunglasses may not be worn inside the building (some days may be designated as a special exception for example a “Hat Day” for school spirit).
Backpacks must be stored in lockers during the day. Some situations may require administrative exceptions to this rule.

WATER ONLY, PLEASE!
We want our students to stay hydrated, but we can only allow students to bring water into the classrooms. Flavored and colored drinks, when spilled, attract bugs and stain our carpeting. Thank you for your cooperation!
