Hello McSwain Mustangs!

We hope you are enjoying your break. Here are some reminders.

Spring Break

As we all rest, this is a reminder that students and staff will return to school on Monday, April 8th, 2024.

Dress Code Reminder

As we head into the warmer time of the year, please take a moment to review our dress code expectations.

Appropriate dress and good grooming contribute to a positive atmosphere and promote student safety. Students should dress in a manner that is age-appropriate and acceptable.

Any dress, grooming or appearance which disrupts or tends to disrupt the educational process or affect the health or safety of individuals will be prohibited (EC 48900, EC35183, EC 35294.1).

Pants/shorts will be worn at the waist level without the need to use a belt.

All belts must be worn through the loops.

Backless, halter, strapless, low-cut necklines, bare midriff tops, spaghetti straps, crop tops, and tube tops may not be worn. Straps must be at least ½ inch wide.

All undergarments must be covered, including bralettes.

Holes/rips/fraying in pants, shorts or skirts may be no higher than fingertip length.

If arms are held at the sides and straight down, the shorts, dress or skirt bottom should match the students longest fingertip.

Students will be required to change if their shorts, skirts or dresses are of an inappropriate length.

Leggings are ok to be worn under shorts or jeans with holes/rips higher than fingertip length.

Footwear must be worn at all times. Students must have appropriate footwear for PE. Failure to do so will result in non-participation and will impact the student’s grade in PE. Elementary students are encouraged to wear closed-toe shoes.
