Dress Expectations

2017-2018

The dress expectations at Conway Middle School are based on enhancing the learning process and personal safety of our students. The guidelines for determining what is appropriate for school are based on simple premises and beliefs: a well dressed student not only behaves better, but is more likely to see better academic results as well. Proud and Positive Falcon students are highly encouraged to wear Conway uniform apparel at all times.

CMS dress expectation policy under the guidelines of the OCPS policy is listed below:

General Guidelines:

  • Clothing must cover all undergarments.
  • It is mandatory to keep pants at the waist; belts will be required in pants with belt loops if pants are loose fitting.
  • PE uniforms are only allowed to be worn during scheduled PE class time.
  • Sunglasses may not be worn on the face while in a classroom or in a building on campus during school hours.
  • Sweaters, jackets and/or sweatshirts must be worn as designed.
  • Shorts and skirts must be mid-thigh in length.
  • Shirts may not be any longer than mid-thigh in length.

Clothing items NOT allowed include:

  • Backless shoes, flip-flops or Heelys.
  • 2 colored T-shirts worn at the same time unless the undershirt is white.
  • Tall T-shirts.
  • Clothing that is too tight, see-through, lacey or revealing of undergarments or body parts.
  • Shirts revealing the midriff or plunging neckline.
  • Pants worn below the waist (sagging pants).
  • Pajama pants or boxer shorts worn as outer clothing.
  • Hats, sweatshirt hoodies, caps, visors. Students may wear winter caps and winter gloves on cold days but must remove them when entering buildings/classrooms.

  • Clothing, hairstyles, jewelry or accessories with pointed, spiked or dangerous objects including chains.
  • Bandannas or other gang-related material/styles of dress.
  • Any clothing, hairstyles, or ornamentation deemed inappropriate by the administration.

Students failing to meet these dress code guidelines will be administered the appropriate consequence as described in the Orange County Public Schools and Conway Middle School Code of Student Conduct. Repeated violations may result in more severe consequences for insubordination and repeated misconduct.

The School Administration reserves the right to adjust or change any policy if an item is deemed inappropriate for the school environment.
