Parents/Guardians, as you are preparing for the upcoming school year, we wanted to share our schools' dress code.

Wilder Elementary Dress Code
Students are expected to dress properly for a school environment. In general, students should
dress neatly, clean, and modestly. Dress that is suggestive, degrading, immodest, scary, or overly
revealing can be a distraction to the educational process. Clothing that advertises or promotes
any form of drug or alcohol is not appropriate for a school setting. Students found to be wearing
inappropriate or immodest clothing will be required to change before being readmitted to class.
Baseball style caps may not be worn at school without permission from school administration.
Caps may be worn to extracurricular activities during after-school hours. Any apparel, jewelry,
accessory, or manner of grooming which, by virtue of its color, arrangement (including wearing
pants excessively low off the hips and belts that hang down excessively low in the front),
trademark, symbol, which represents a secret fraternity/sorority, clubs, or gangs not recognized
or approved by the school, or present a clear and present danger to the school environment and
educational objectives, are strictly forbidden. 


Wilder Middle/High School Dress Code

Students are expected to dress properly for a school environment. In general, students should dress neatly, cleanly, and modestly.  Dress that is suggestive, degrading, immodest, overly revealing, or sleepwear is a distraction to the educational process. 

·       Dresses/skirts/shorts must be at least fingertip length when the arms are straight down at sides.  We ask that girls wear shorts under skirts and dresses to help with modesty while sitting on the floor.  This includes ripped pants and shorts.

·       All shirts/tank tops must have 3 adult finger width straps or must be covered with a sweater or jacket at all times.  No off the shoulder tops.  A decent coverage of the body is expected. Halter tops, spaghetti strap tops, muscle shirts, bare midriffs, net shirts, swimsuits, etc. are for a more casual time and are not to be worn to school.

·       Clothing that suggests obscene gestures, pictures, wording and/or drugs, alcohol, weapons, the occult, or gangs is prohibited.

·       Hats are not to be worn in the building unless it is "Spirit Hat Day”.

·       Wheeled shoes, tap shoes, cleats or bare feet are not allowed.

·       No apparel, hairstyle or makeup which is deemed disruptive to the educational process will be allowed. No rings, bracelets, or chains which may be considered a safety hazard or used as a weapon will be allowed.

·       Caps may be worn to extracurricular activities during after-school hours. 

·       Any apparel, jewelry, accessory, or manner of grooming which, by virtue of its color, arrangement (including wearing pants excessively low off the hips and belts that hang down excessively low), trademark, symbol, or secret fraternity or sorority, or for clubs or gangs not recognized or approved by the school, present a clear and present danger to the school environment and educational objectives of the community and are forbidden.
