Comments on appropriate clothing
From the Director of Fitness and Health: Sneakers must be worn to class. There are so many styles of athletic footwear on the market it can be confusing! We ask that students come to class with TIE OR VELCRO SNEAKERS WITH BACKS. Slip-ons and backless sneakers frequently fall off, particularly when children are engaged in activities requiring kicking and agility. Athletic sandals and platform sneakers do not provide enough ankle support and injuries do occur. We appreciate the popularity of Merrells and "Mary Jane" type sneakers as an all-purpose walking shoe, but discourage their use in the physical activity setting. We require our students to move in many ways, which require good ankle support; pivoting, sliding, jumping, landing to name a few. We do not like to ask any student to "sit out", however, safety is the primary concern and we cannot allow students without appropriate footwear to participate. We appreciate your help in making sure your child is prepared on the day of class.
From the Schofield Handbook: Dress Standards We appreciate the support from parents in seeing that their children arrive at school in neat and clean clothing. We also encourage parents to dress their students sensibly – sturdy clothing that can be comfortably worn while climbing on playground equipment, sitting on the floor, or actively engaged in an art project. In addition, it is essential for the children to dress appropriately for the weather as they generally are outdoors for recess. The only restriction to student dress is that it should not detract from the learning environment. Therefore, we respectfully request that clothing be free from commercial messages, slogans and/or pictures that are not appropriate for a learning environment. Hats are not to be worn indoors.
Not in the Handbook, but also a safety concern: No healy-type shoes allowed in school.
