School Dress
In order to enhance the educational environment and promote personal growth habits, a dress code has been established for the Warwick School Department. A dress code is necessary to remove distractive, disruptive, and dangerous apparel from the educational environment. The code has been written not to infringe upon the individuality of the student, but rather to create a feeling and awareness of community pride within the student body. In adopting this code, the Warwick School Department hopes to create a clean, healthy and safe environment which is conducive to good education and beneficial to all students.
It is the School Committee’s intent that students wear appropriate, clean non-disruptive clothing, and in keeping with that intent, students are required to comply with the following:
- Articles of clothing must cover the torso, to be appropriate to the school environment and/or non disruptive in the classroom.
- Sunglasses may not be worn in the classroom unless medical reasons exist.
- No hats may be worn in school.
- No clothing that promotes alcohol, drugs, violence and profanity or is obscene as that word is construed by United States Court decisions shall be worn in a school building.
- Children should come to school dressed appropriately for the weather.
