Dress Code

We ask that students attending our school wear clothing that is comfortable, clean, and appropriate for an elementary school. Because our instructional program includes active play, students must wear clothing that allows them to run and jump, including closed-toed shoes. Clothing and other items our students wear must not disrupt the educational process nor create safety concerns. All popular fashions may not be appropriate for an elementary school.

Inappropriate dress includes but is not limited to:

• Clothing that does not fit reasonably
• Clothing with logos, slogans, words, or pictures promoting or depicting alcohol, tobacco, drugs, vandalism, bigotry, violence, sexual connotations, or profanity. This includes clothing with phrases or pictures that have double meanings.
• Clothing that is revealing or immodest or tops that expose bare midriff or undergarments. Examples include halter tops, bathing suits, sports bras, tube tops, razor back tops, spaghetti straps, and low cut tops.
• Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be long enough that they reach the same point on the thigh as the bottom of a student’s closed fist when the arm is extended and resting on the thigh.
• Earrings, chains, jewelry that dangles and could be dangerous when playing
• Shoes with open toes or excessive heels
• Hats worn indoors or incorrectly
• We are a uniform school and scholars must abide by the uniform in addition to the NYC PS dress code

With the support and cooperation of our students, parents, and staff, (our school) will be a positive and productive learning environment.

Discipline Code

The New York City Department of Education (NYC DOE) is committed to ensuring a safe, supportive, and respectful learning environment for all students. The Discipline Code outlines the standards of behavior expected from all students, as well as the consequences for violating these standards.
Students are expected to show respect for themselves, their peers, and all school personnel. This includes treating everyone with courtesy and consideration, and refraining from any form of bullying, harassment, or discrimination.
