$ Consequences$for$Dress$Code$Violations$ District policy stipulates that students wear clothes deemed appropriate for school. Research has indicated that there is a direct correlation between students’ attire and their classroom behavior, attitude and achievement (Sommers, 2001 & Nicholson, 2007). Current styles are accepted, but clothing should be appropriate for the school setting. Students in third through eighth grade who violate the dress code policy will receive the following consequences: 1. First violation: Teacher issues verbal warning and provides the student with the opportunity to selfcorrect (i.e. obtain clothing from locker, phone parent to request change of clothing, removal of article). The student will complete a student reflection regarding proper attire for Lindop School. 2. Second violation: Send student to the office. (A phone contact will be made by the administrator and attire will be corrected). 3. Chronic dress code violators will be dealt with by an administrator. *If students in pre-kindergarten through second grade violate the dress code, the teacher will contact the parent and determine appropriate consequences. Chronic violators will be referred to an administrator.*
