All middle schools in Springfield have the same expectations for student behavior. Students should feel safe and respected in our schools. School should also be a place where students can learn in an atmosphere free of disruption. Because school is a place for learning, the students should come dresses appropriately for the school environment.

For all students this means that hats are allowed only after school, at athletic events, and school activities.

For girls this means midriffs must be covered. Shirts and pants must meet at the waist. All undergarments must be covered. The back of any shirt must cover the back up to the shoulder blades. All shirts must have straps and straps must be at least 1-inch wide and must cover all undergarments. Shirts that have a low cut front are not allowed.

For boys this means pants must be worn at the waist with no undergarments showing.

If a student is not following these expectations they will be offered an appropriate shirt or belt to wear and parents will be contacted.

Thank you for your help and support in creating an appropriate school environment for all students.
