NORTH ROWAN MIDDLE SCHOOL UNIFORM POLICY

The faculty and staff of North Rowan Middle School take great pride in the appearance of our students. It is expected that all students will comply with the established uniform policy. However, your help is needed with enforcing the policy by ensuring that your child(ren) wears the appropriate clothing. Research has shown that the wearing of school uniforms helps to curtail discipline problems, thus promoting a safe and orderly learning environment for all children.

Students who choose not to be appropriately dressed will be asked to contact parents/guardians to bring them a change of clothing. The student will be sent to ISS for the remainder of the day if  parents/guardians are unable to bring him/her a change of clothes. Please read over the uniform policy very carefully and discuss it with your child(ren).

All students have a choice of either khaki or navy slacks and shorts (finger-tip length).

Pants and shorts may not have any side pockets or loops and must be worn at the waistline with a plain non-decorative belt that does not have writing on it.  The belt buckle cannot exceed 3 square inches in size. Girls are permitted to wear skirts or jumpers (finger-tip length). Jumpers with bibs or any clothing that has large cargo pockets and /or loops are not acceptable.  Uniform shirts must be tucked all the way inside pants or skirts. When a student wears an undershirt it must be white or the same color as the uniform shirt. An undershirt may only be visible at the neck.

It is strongly encouraged that jewelry not be worn.  However, if worn, necklaces may not hang outside of shirts. Long-sleeve shirts may not be worn under short-sleeved uniform shirts.  Sweatshirts must be the same color as the student’s uniform shirt and be worn with a uniform shirt. Sweatshirts that are zippered or hooded are not permitted during the school day. Coats, jackets, and sweaters MAY NOT be worn in class.
