Dress Code
 
Every Thomas Jefferson student is EXPECTED to address appropriately, as if they are coming to work. Appropriate attire is that which projects a net, clean, and appropriate appearance and does not INTERFERE with our “Family of Learning.”
Dress for Success
Our Standards
 
For PE Classes:
  • Approved NMS PE shorts and t-shirt (including 5K shirts).
Additional restrictions:

  • PE shirt does not replace white uniform shirt.

  • Jacket/sweatshirt hoods are not to be worn up at any time (except outdoors during inclement weather).

  • Hats/caps may only be worn outside during inclement weather.

  • Professional sports team attire of any kind is prohibited.

  • Any clothing worn must be appropriate in style so as not to be disruptive to the learning environment (at the teacher’s discretion).

  • Pants may not be inappropriately torn.

  • Shoes must cover toes and be secured at the heel.

  • Uniform Policy is in effect for all curricular excursions held during regular instructional hours.

  • Exemptions may be granted by Principal/designee when appropriate. Students not in uniform compliance are to be sent to Parent Center to change. Teachers are requested to enforce uniform policy at all times. The Principal/designee, based on feedback reports of overall student behavior, may announce occasional uniform-optional days. On these days, students will still be required to follow the district dress code.
