The
understanding here is that categories are cumulative, meaning that a second
offense in one(same) category, even if it is of a different type from the
first, counts as second offense (i.e. one disruptive behavior in class + one
dress code violation would result in parent notification and detention).
Teachers
will handle minor cases of disruptive behavior using their own in-class
behavior management plans, which may include such actions as warnings,
conferences, detentions, parental contact, and reassignment of seats. It is understood that when a teacher refers a
student, previous disciplinary steps have been taken and referral to
administration is due to the fact that there has been no improvement of a
student’s behavior. It is also understood
that teachers may refer serious disciplinary issues (immediate referrals)
directly to the administration.

determined to be bullying.
- The specified category will be
elevated to the next level if the behavior is determined to be bullying.
Possession of, being under the influence of, or selling or
giving away non-prescription, prescription, illegal drugs, controlled
substances, or alcohol on the school campus during the school day or during any
school-sponsored trip or activity is not permitted. Appropriate discipline will
be taken if these standards are not met. All prescription drugs are to be kept
by the nurse (See Medication.)
Students’ dress and personal grooming are expected to be
appropriate. Clothing that distracts other students and/or interrupts the
learning process is inappropriate. Short shorts, halter tops, bare midriffs,
see-through shirts, tank tops, T-shirts designed as underclothing or with
offensive or inappropriate language or graphics to include anti-social
messages, sagging pants, hats, sunglasses, hair combs/picks, headbands, berets,
gloves, and clothing which is excessively torn, house shoes, slippers, and flip
flops are examples of inappropriate school attire.
Clothing may not be
worn in a manner that might indicate group membership. Dangling belts with
tails that hang from the first belt loop, one rolled or pulled-up pants leg,
elastic headbands, bandannas, goggles, chains of any length or weight, or any
other item which might be considered regalia will be confiscated and submitted
to the office. Chains that are attached to wallets are not allowed. Any item
associated with potentially illegal activities will be turned over to the
military police. It is also inappropriate for shorts or pants to be pulled down
from the waist regardless of what the student may be wearing under them. Belts
and pants must be worn at the waist.
Clothing which
promotes violence, alcohol, drug, or tobacco use, or is racially or sexually
offensive is not to be worn to school. For this reason clothing that bears logos
of musical or other groups that convey an anti-social message are considered
inappropriate.
Students are not to
wear headgear and sunglasses inside the school building. Failure to adhere to
this guidance may result in the item being confiscated. If this rule is
repeatedly abused, these items will be returned only to a sponsor/parent. Jackets, headgear, and other items of
clothing which students may remove during the school day should be clearly
marked with the student’s name.
Check list for School Dress Code
Shirts,
T-shirts and Tops-Students
should be able to hold their hands straight over their head and the tail of
their shirt should be below their waist so that no midriff or underwear is
exposed.
Pants, Shorts and Skirts
- All items should fit at the student’s waistline. No under clothing of any
kind should be visible above the outside garment. Shorts and skirts must be longer than the
palms of the student’s relaxed arms with hands held straight down at their
sides.
Shoes - No house
shoes, slippers, or flip flops, are permitted at school. Securely tied tennis
type shoes are always permitted.
Students should bring to school only those items which are
needed in order to do their schoolwork. Non-educational items are distracting
to their owners and to other students, may be a safety hazard, and/or may
present an unnecessary temptation to other students to take or misuse them. The
following are examples of, but not
limited to, items that are not allowed at school, on school buses, on
study or incentive trips, or on any school sponsored activity:
Matches or lighters,
fireworks or poppers, radios, stereos, walkmans, CD players, tobacco or tobacco
products, electronic games, alcohol, prescription or OTC drugs, or other
controlled substances, cellular phones, beepers, electrical equipment (hot
rollers, irons, etc.), aerosol products (Bianca, shaving cream, air freshener,
etc.), weapons or replicas thereof, hypodermic needles, laser pens, razor
blades, medications, (except those kept for students by the nurse), bandannas,
chains of any weight or length or other items which might be considered gang
regalia, toiletry items (deodorant, body sprays, after shave, hair items),
personal sports items or equipment, toys, water guns, slam books, and clothing
or book bags which advertise drugs or display logos with inappropriate
language, alcohol, tobacco products
or offensive messages.
These and other
non-educational items will be confiscated and returned to the student at the
end of the day, or sponsor if their possession becomes chronic. Although school personnel will make every
reasonable effort to ensure the security of confiscated items, the school will
not accept responsibility for the security and/or replacement of these items
that should not have been brought to school in the first place. Repeated
disregard of the above will result in disciplinary action. Any potentially
illegal or stolen items will be turned over to the military police.
Laser light pointers
are prohibited from DoDEA student possession or nonstaff supervised use in
schools or during school sponsored activities. The Food and Drug Administration
(FDA) regulates lasers under the Radiation Control for Safety and Health Act.
The FDA has determined that hand-held laser pointers can cause serious eye
damage. Please insure that your child does not bring these items to school.
While cameras are a
non-educational item, we recognize that our student body is transient.
Additionally, many students live far away from their friends, and school is the
only place that they see each other. Cameras will not be confiscated unless
they threaten the educational environment and/or safety of others. While it is
not recommended that students bring high value cameras to school, there are
several models that cost fewer than ten dollars. In the event that a camera is
lost or stolen, it will be the student’s responsibility, in concert with their
parents, to search for it and file the necessary police reports.
