PJ Student Clothing Guidelines 

The dreary Spring weather has certain benefits as it keeps clothing issues in check. However, nicer weather will certainly be coming our way soon and it is an good time to revisit the school’s clothing guidelines, developed a few years ago in consultation with PAC. 

Learning how to gauge appropriate dress is a valuable life-skill.  School is a child’s workplace and students need to make appropriate choices for what to wear. Clothing that is too revealing is distracting to others and causes discomfort. 

Parents are strongly encouraged to take an active interest in monitoring their children’s clothing selections and to offer guidance to help them to make sound decisions regarding the clothing they wear. Your assistance in helping students to comply with these guidelines would be greatly appreciated.
