1.   It is the belief of the Cranston School Committee that appropriate dress constitutes a positive influence on the pupil’s attitude, poise, self-assurance and behavior in school and community life. The manner and selection of clothing reflects directly upon the values upheld by the family unit and therefore, the responsibility must rightfully be placed with the parents and the home.

2.   The Cranston School Committee expects the judgment made by the parents will be in accordance with appropriate styles and those typical of the age group.

3.   To establish a degree of understanding between the school authorities and the home and student, judgment for enforcement of appropriate dress and what constitutes proper dress will be limited to the following criteria:
      (a). cleanliness (b). neatness (c). health (d). safety  (e). disruptiveness to the group in the school setting

4.   No jackets, hats or other outerwear are to be worn in school.  Closed-toed shoes with backs need to be worn at all times (no sandals/slippers of any kind are allowed).  Pants need to be worn at the waist.  Students caught “sagging” their pants will be subject to discipline action.

5.   The dress policy is fully explained in the Disciplinary Procedure for Cranston Secondary Schools.
