Enhanced Dress Code for Specific Schools

Background

Some schools in District 6 have individually chosen to have a more detailed and prescriptive dress code, in addition to the district wide Universal Student Dress Code. The enhanced dress code is also sometimes called a "school uniform." 

Schools following the enhanced dress code work with local service organizations to provide families with assistance in purchasing the designated clothing. 

Bella Romero Academy uses an enhanced dress code for students.

A dress standard is maintained for students to wear clothing that is in good taset and not disruptive to the educaitonal process or constituting a health or safety hazard. Shoes and shirts must be worn at all times. Students not appropriately dressed will be advised, their parents will be contacted, and the students will be asked to change to appropriate clothing before returning to class. 

During inclement or cold weather, please ensure that proper clothing is worn for being outside for limted amounts of time during recess. Students will be outside for recess on days warmer than 18 degrees Farenheit and snow will also be considered. 

When there is a question on the dress or appearance of a student, the building administrators and school staff will use their discretion in questions concerning the dress code. Students will be required to change clothing to comply with the dress code if they arrive with inappropriate dress for school.
