All students are to wear white, yellow, black or gray collared shirts and navy blue, black or khaki pants. Female students can also wear skirts or jumpers but should not be more than one inch above the knee. Shoes should be white, brown or black dress shoes or tennis shoes. Sweatshirts or sweaters should be white, yellow, black or gray (no stripes, logos or emblems). The only logo that is permitted is the Jackson Elementary logo.

Be sure your child dresses warmly for winter playground activities. Please mark clothing so misplaced items can be returned to your child. 

In an instance where unsuitable clothes are worn to school, the principal or her designee will inform the child that a change of clothes is necessary before he/she can return to class. 

Enhanced Dress Code for Specific Schools

Some schools in District 6 have individually chosen to have a more detailed and proscriptive dress code, in addition to the district wide Universal Student Dress Code. These decisions have been based on requests by students, families and others in the school community. All stakeholders, including students, parents and staff, participated in the decision-making process at each school.

Elementary Schools

The following elementary schools use an enhanced dress code for students:

• Centennial Elementary
• Dos Rios Elementary
• Bella Romero Academy
• Madison Elementary
• Maplewood Elementary
• Martinez Elementary
• Jackson Elementary

• Any clothing item or accessory that causes a disruption to school safety, personal safety and/or the learning environment may result in discretionary intervention by school administrators. 
• Tattoos, clothing or accessories that display drugs, sexual innuendos, inappropriate language, alcohol, tobacco products or gang connotations are not permitted. Tattoos displaying any of these must be covered at all times. 
• No hats are permitted inside of the school building during the school day. If "hoodies" are worn, the hood may not be worn inside of the school (religious headwear exceptions).
• Sunglasses or dark glasses, absent a verified medical condition, are not to be worn or displayed inside of the building.
