• Forsythe Middle School

     

    School Attire Guidelines - At Forsythe we believe that a student’s attire and mindset are directly related and that a student who is professionally and appropriately dressed for school is also more apt to treat their education as a professional endeavor and will be suited to do their best work. As a result, it is our intent to support our students as they progress by maintaining expectations for professional and appropriate school attire. Parents may use the following as a guide to support students in dressing appropriately during the school day:

    • Clothing may not depict or advertise weapons, alcohol, drugs, drug paraphernalia, obscene language or images, or threats. 
    • Students are expected to wear shorts/skirts/dresses/pants that come to at least mid-thigh. 
    • Students who choose to wear leggings should make sure that the leggings are not see through, and that undergarments and body parts are not visible through the fabric.  
    • The straps on shirts need to be thick enough in width to cover undergarments.  
    • Shirts should have full side seams.  
    • Both boys and girls need to wear shirts that cover the midriff area and chest. 
    • Undergarments should not be visible. 
    • Hats, hoods, and bandanas may not be worn inside of the school building (except for religious and/or medical purposes).  
    • Pants and shorts to be fitted or belted at the waist to prevent sagging below the waistline.
    • Pajamas and slippers may not be worn, except during Spirit Week activities.

    Students who decide not to follow the school attire guidelines will be addressed in a respectful manner and will be asked to change their clothes or to contact a parent to bring a change of clothes to the school.
