Dress Code

“The appearance of dress of students shall not be disruptive to the educational process or constitute a health or safety hazard,” as stated in the Jeffco School Board policy. Although special dress-up days may occur during the year, such as Pajama Day, School Spirit Day or Hat Day, please help our learning environment maintain high standards of respect and honor for all students through the way they dress.

Support the school during winter months by ensuring your student dresses appropriately for the weather. The school will attempt to send all students outside except on the very coldest or wettest days.

The following standards apply to Rose Stein International and other Alameda elementary schools. Rose Stein appreciates your cooperation in maintaining this dress code so that the school can maintain a focused and respectful educational environment:

• Dress that can be distracting to the educational process is not allowed.
• Clothing advertising or promoting (actively or passively) anti-social behavior, death or gang activity
  • Encouraging the use of tobacco, alcohol, drugs, sex or violence is not allowed.
  • Shirts, other clothing or stickers on notebooks or water bottles with derogatory or negative messages directed toward, or about, any individual or group will not be tolerated.
• No gang graffiti or gang symbols at school. Gang clothing or gang “colors” are not permitted.
• Students who are not dressed appropriately may be asked to call home for a change of clothing or change into what is available in our health room.

Responsibility for student dress and appearance generally rests with individual students and their families. Students may wish to express themselves by the manner of their dress and appearance; however, students shall not wear clothing or affect an appearance at school or school-sanctioned activities or events that is disruptive to the educational environment. Jeffco Public Schools standards on student attire are intended to help students focus on schoolwork, reduce discipline problems, and improve school order and safety.

Disciplinary action for violating the student dress code shall include notifying the student of the violation and requiring that the dress or appearance be corrected before the student reenters the classroom, school environment, or school-sanctioned activity or event. At the discretion of the building-level administrator, a family conference may be held. More serious consequences may result from repeated or serious violations.
