Sweats and Jeans Allowed Wednesday, January 17
Students are welcome to wear jeans or
sweats to school on
Wednesday, January 17. Jeans and
sweats must be school appropriate. As usual, all clothing must be appropriate for the school day. Leggings (and/or form fitting yoga pants), pajamas/onesies, are not appropriate. Feel free to add those layers underneath if you want! Sweaters and sweatshirts are fine, but absolutely no off-the-shoulder/cold-shoulder, midriff-type items are allowed. Shoes must cover the entire foot, no slippers/house shoes. The regular parameters apply with the
sweats and jeans -- no rips, tears, holes, etc. Remember that the point of the
sweats and jeans is to be warm and comfy, but always school day appropriate. Keep in mind that you have access to the student handbook, and the common out of uniform requirements, at all times via the SPX webpage, Haiku (under the Deans Pages - Dean of Students section), and in your student planner.
Parents, we ask that you please monitor your student's clothing options, and help them make respectful and school appropriate decisions. We appreciate your help!
