PELICAN ELEMENTARY DRESS CODE 

    We ask that personal appearance be  monitored before the student arrives at school. Should a concern arise over dress code the parent will be contacted to come to the school to correct the concern. Additional clothes will no longer be kept in the clinic for such matters. 

 

        The following are the specific standards Pelican Elementary has designed for it’s students:

 

  • Personal appearance should not detract from the educational process.

  • Hairstyles such as Mohawks and those, which cause a distraction, are not permitted. 
  • 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. Sneakers are suggested every day for safety.
