dress down days. Students shall come to school looking clean

and/or safety hazard to the student or others. SJEA prohibits
any dress or grooming that in the Administration’s judgment
may interfere with normal school operations.

• Clothing must be neat, clean, and free from holes.
• Pants or jeans must be the correct size and worn appropriately
at all times.
• Not permitted are clothing items with inappropriate
or derogatory logos or slogans, pictures, emblems, or writing
that is lewd, offensive, vulgar, obscene, or imply profanity;
or that depict or advertises alcohol/tobacco substances.
• All tops must have sleeves. No halter tops, spaghetti
straps, tank tops or muscle shirts.

Consequences

First Violation

• Student supplied with loaner uniform *
Second Violation
• Second notice sent home
• Loaner uniform provided *
• Lunch time detention is assigned
Third Violation
• Parent called to bring in appropriate uniform for student
to change into
• Lunch time detention is assigned
Repeat Offenders
• Disciplinary action may result in suspension for non-compliance
*Inappropriate
clothing which caused the infraction will be confiscated and
kept until the loaner uniform is returned. Student must return
the “loner clothing” or will be billed $10.00.
According to research, a school dress code:
• positively affects student academic performance and
their interaction with other students
• positively affects classroom discipline and decreases
disruptions
• improves school climate by decreasing the negative effects
of peer pressure and
• increases school spirit and pride!
In
addition, the cost of school uniforms has proven to be less
than what is usually spent for children’s school clothing,
however, if you should need assistance with obtaining uniform
items please contact, Ms. Pat Silva at 626-856-1693 ext. 4405.
