The dress code policy of Piscataway Magnet School:
STUDENT DRESS:
-
Dress is the responsibility of the parents and students. However, the school affirms that acceptable standards for students are predicated on decency, neatness, cleanliness and safety.
-
Dress for school must not distract from nor disrupt the educational process as determined by administration.
-
Clothing must be modest and appropriate for the school setting.
-
Student safety has a large part in what type of clothing is deemed acceptable.
-
Students in violation of the dress code may be asked to contact their home for the appropriate attire to be brought to school, change into another outfit or be excluded from school activities for the remainder of the day. Additionally, anyone not conforming to the dress code and/or refusing to change his/her attire shall be disciplined by the administration.
Dress code for the High School:
1. Any clothing containing written and/or visual profanity, references to sex, violence, alcohol,tobacco, drugs, weapons or ambiguous messages (phrases with double meanings) are not permitted.
2. Clothing should not be too revealing. Shorts and skirts should be of appropriate length. Appropriate length can be estimated by using one’s thumb. The hem of the shorts or skirts should be even with or lower than a student’s thumb when held to one’s side. Some degree of discretion must be used when assessing this and should be on the side of conservative. The administration will make the final decision if there is a question. Clothing should not be sheer, netted or in any way see through.
3. Undergarments should not be visible. All undergarments should be covered by a student’s clothing.
4. Tank tops or sleeveless tops may be worn but the top must fall reasonably close to the
neckline, as judged by administration, and fall below the underarm to insure the torso and
undergarments are not exposed inappropriately. All tops and bottoms must meet; bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, and crop tops are not permitted.
5. Chains and gang-related attire or anything that might be construed as gang-related attire is not permitted.
6. The wearing of armbands, propaganda buttons or pins, or any other methods of controversial symbolic expression that disrupts the educational process will not be permitted.
7. Footwear: Footwear must be secured in both the front and the back of the foot. Examples of unacceptable footwear include: slides, flip flops, bare feet, footwear with cleats, and any other
footwear which may be deemed a safety hazard will not be allowed.
8. Any articles of clothing or accessories containing spikes, chains, pointed studs or any other items deemed unsafe by the administration will not be permitted.
