Pelican's Dress Code

Students at Pelican Elementary should abide by the District's policy and Code of Conduct, in addition to a more specific dress code designed especially for our school.

The responsibility for the personal appearance of the student rests with the parent/guardian and the student.  Personal appearance shall not detract from the educational process.

The following establishes the acceptable, specific standards for student dress:

  • Closed toe shoes shall be worn at all times.  Any shoe worn must be securely attached to the foot so that it cannot fall off.  High heels, clogs, and flip-flops, etc. are not allowed.  We suggest sneakers be worn everyday for safety.
  • Apparel shall be adequate in both length and coverage to be considered appropriate for school.  The appropriate length for shorts and skirts is mid-thigh.
  • Pants shall be worn fastened and at the waist.  Clothes must be of appropriate size to fit the child.
  • Shirts and blouses shall be of appropriate length.  The length must extend beyond the waist level.  Over-sized shirts, pants and/or jackets are not allowed.  Clothes must be of appropriate size to fit the child.  Shirts not allowed at Pelican would include those outlined in the District's Policy in article B (e, g, h, and k).
  • Dresses should be worn at an appropriate length.  Backless dresses are not allowed.
  • Articles of clothing or jewelry that could cause injury are prohibited.
  • Spandex clothing worn alone is not allowed.  Spandex may be worn in a "layered" look, under shorts, skirts and/or dresses.
  • Colored hair gel, hairspray, hair glitter or glitter body gel is not permitted.
  • Bandanas are not permitted.
  • Any clothing, style or accessory of personal appearance shall not detract from the educational process.

P.E. Attire

  • Tennis shoes and socks are required for physical education classes.

  • Caps, hats and/or sunglasses are suggested for P.E. classes.  Shatterproof plastic U.V. protective sunglasses are recommended for all outside activities.  Polycarbonate lenses provide the utmost impact resistance.  U.V. coating for all prescription lenses is appropriate.

  • Sunscreen is also a beneficial protection against sun exposure.  If parents wish to have their student use sunscreen it should be applied at home.  This will provide protection to the student during the time going to school, as well as during the rest of the day.  Sunscreen should not be brought to school.

Any student not conforming to the District's policy and/or the Pelican Elementary Dress Code will be required to call home for an appropriate change.
