FSSD Dress Code Changes

FSSD Dress Code Changes

The following are new changes to the FSSD dress code that will be in place throughout the three FSSD middle schools for the 2009-2010 school year. The district’s intention is to create and foster a safe, orderly academic setting in which students and teachers can concentrate on their educational endeavors with minimal distractions.  Parental support is vital to achieving this goal.

  • Students are required to wear fold-down collared shirts. Any color will be acceptable. If the collared shirt has buttons, no more than two buttons may be open. Students may wear FSSD t-shirts on a school-designated day. Spirit Days will be Thursdays for Freedom Middle School and Fridays for Poplar Grove and Freedom Intermediate. Each school will make their own policy regarding special occasions or field trips.
  • Shorts, skorts, skirts, or dresses must be no more than 3 inches above the top of the knee.
  • Pants must have a zipper or button closure at the waist. No athletic, sport, recreational, or lounge shorts or pants are allowed.
  • School issued and/or FSSD pullover hoodies or sweatshirts are allowed.  All other hoodies must be zippered and must be worn so the collared shirt shows.To read more visit, www.fssd.org.
