Dress Code Guidelines: Ensuring Appropriate Attire at Groveport Community School

Groveport Community School enforces a school dress code policy. Students must adhere to this policy before arriving at school, through dismissal. No students will have permission to change clothing before their bus/pick-up. At Groveport Community School, we believe that appropriate clothing supports a positive learning environment. The school dress code will be for all students:

  • Solid color, collared shirt. Shirts may be long or short-sleeved and are to be worn buttoned and tucked in at all times. Imagine school logo t-shirts may be worn.
  • Cold weather attire may include any appropriate sweaters, cardigans,
    sweatshirts, or hoodies. No hoodies, jackets, or coats may be worn
    throughout the school day.
  • Close-toed shoes should allow your child to run and play safely during recess and physical education class. (Tennis shoes are preferred.) Tennis shoes are required on days the child is participating in physical education. Shoes may not cause a distraction, have wheels, or otherwise, be deemed unsafe. No sandal/slipper-type shoes are permitted. No heels/wedges higher than two inches.
  • Khaki (tan), black or blue pants, shorts, skorts, skirts, and jumpers are to be worn firmly at the waist.
  • All shorts, skirts, dresses, and skorts must be no shorter than 2 inches above the knee.
  • Tights/leggings are only permitted under a uniform skirt, skort, dress, or shorts.
  • Leggings should not be worn by themselves.
  • Jeans (including skinny jeans, skinny khakis, and jeggings) are not permitted unless it is dress down day. Parents will be notified of scheduled dress-down days.
Hats, bandanas, etc. of any type are not to be worn in the school. Halters, tube tops or other tops that show your child’s midriff are not allowed at school. Short skirts, unsafe shoes and open-toed shoes, high heels, platform shoes, shoes without backs, and shoes with roller skates are not permitted. Students may not wear hooded shirts or sweatshirts (hoodies) during class.
 
Be sure to check the weather, if possible, before sending your child to school. If it is wet outside, send your child with an umbrella or raincoat. If it is cold or snowy, your child should wear a jacket, hat, gloves, and boots (optional.) Remember, recess is outdoors if it is dry and the temperature is not below 32 degrees including the wind chill.
Dress Code Violations
Students who do not adhere to the dress code policy will a Dress Code Violation Record Form and receive consequences outlined in this handbook. The parent or guardian will be required to bring appropriate clothing to school to allow the student to comply with the dress code policy. Additional consequences may apply for students who are out of dress code.
Personal Items

The school will not accept responsibility for lost, stolen or destroyed personal items of students. Students are encouraged not to bring belongings to school, such as basketballs and/or footballs, which are not for education. More specifically, electronic games, toys, CD players, cell phones, mp3 players, other recording devices and/or boom boxes are not permitted unless written permission has been granted by the teacher.
