DRESS CODE

Hobe Sound Elementary seeks to promote a positive school environment which will enhance the instructional program and enable all students to focus on the school's basic education mission, while minimizing concerns for safety, peer pressure, disruption or discipline. Because of the increase of violence and disruption in schools nationwide, a dress code has been adopted for our school.

 

Mandatory Dress Code for Hobe Sound Elementary the 2007-2008 school year:   

  • Pants, shorts, skirts, or jumpers in navy or khaki.  Shorts, skirts, and jumpers may be no shorter than extended fingertips.  Blue denim is allowed only on Fridays (or last school day of the week).  Overalls are not permitted.

     
  • Collared shirts in light blue, navy, light yellow (not gold), or white (Monday through Thursday).  All shirts must be worn tucked in.  No logo is required on collared shirts.  Collared shirts with the HSE logo may be worn.

     
  • Mandatory dress code must be followed on all field trips.

     
  • Spirit shirts may be worn on Friday or the last day of the week (i.e. the Tuesday before Thanksgiving).
