Student Uniforms

CORVALLIS STEAM MAGNET MIDDLE SCHOOL UNIFORM/DRESS POLICY

 

Purpose: At Corvallis Middle School, we believe that a well-defined dress code contributes to a respectful and focused learning environment. Our dress code promotes safety, unity, and a sense of community among students.. By following our BARK expectation to Be Prepared, wearing the school uniform helps students start each day ready to learn, show school pride, and contribute to a respectful, focused learning environment. To avoid losing valuable instructional time, students should arrive on campus dressed in their proper uniform and ready for the day.

 

The following items are prohibited on campus, at school activities, and at all athletic events:

• No student shall wear articles of clothing, jewelry, or accessories that threaten the student’s or others’ physical well-being and safety. Jewelry may not be worn in PE.
• Clothing should fit well and be proportionate to the individual. Pants must be worn at the waist; they may not be taken in, cut off, stapled, or taped. Pants must not sag.
• Skirts, skorts, and shorts must be no more than one inch below the knee and not shorter than mid-thigh.
• When hands are raised, all tops must meet the top of the student’s pants, shorts, or skirt. Crop tops, halter tops, and tube tops are not allowed.
• High-knee socks or socks that touch the bottom of the legs of shorts are not allowed. For safety and focus, sunglasses should not be worn during instructional time. 
• Hoods or hats should be removed in class. Students should wear PE clothes exclusively for PE.
• Any clothing or school materials, including backpacks, that display pre-printed or handwritten inappropriate or offensive language, sayings, drawings, or advertising referencing alcohol, drugs, sexually explicit material, gang activity (including tagging), violence, memorial-related messages or ‘RIP’ imagery, or any other illegal or disruptive content are not permitted.
