Appropriate Dress

Although there is no formal dress code at Washington School, we encourage children to wear clean, comfortable clothes.  The wearing of short shorts, muscle shirts and bare midriffs is discouraged.  It is important to not let children wear good jewelry to school as it must be removed in order to work with clay, paper-mâché, etc., and can become damaged or lost during physical education or recess.  The wearing of hats indoors is not permitted, for either girls or boys, except on designated hat days.  Appropriate footwear, such as sneakers, allow for full student participation in lunch and class recess as well as physical education class.  Flip-flops are not appropriate dress for school.
