Hello WSS middle school families,
I wanted to resend the WSS student handbook, so our new families have it as well. Please see the student handbook under documents for the 23-24 school year. Also, please see below the reminder about our dress code here at WSS.
DRESS CODE
Students’ appearance or mode of dress or cleanliness should not disrupt the educational process or constitute a threat to health or safety. Casual business dress is appropriate for the school day.
Prohibited Items of dress:
- Jeans that are torn above the knee are prohibited without leggings.
- Caps and hats are prohibited in the building. Students can wear hats while outdoors.
- Clothing that is revealing or ill-fitting to include but not limited to: halter-tops, spaghetti straps, tube tops, midriff tops, short shorts (shorts must be arm length and pockets should not be visible). Undergarments are not to be seen.
- Clothing with profanities, of a sexual nature, or drug and alcohol advertising.
- Sunglasses are not to be worn in thebuilding. Sunglasses can be worn outdoors.
- Pajamas or Slippers are not permitted unless it’s an approved pajama day.
The above list provides basic guidelines, but is not limited to the listed items. When, in the judgment of the principal, a student’s appearance or mode of dress is distractive, disrupts the educational process or constitutes a threat to health or safety, the student may be required by the principal to make requested modifications. Parents may also be required to bring a change of clothing for their student. First offense will be given a verbal warning and student will call parents to make them aware of the infraction, thereafter the progressive school discipline plan will be followed.
Respectfully,
James Dickerson
Principal
