Dear Families,

This is a letter about our district dress code and your child. It is our goal to continue to create a culture of learning within Ron Russell Middle School. As you know, the clothes your child wears to school has an important influence on the attitude toward learning within our school. Students and parents have the choice of how their student looks at school. However, David Douglas School District and Ron Russell Middle School do provide guidelines for parents and students to use in determining what is and is not appropriate.

Lately, we have experienced an increased number of our students having difficulties adhering to our district dress code. These issues can take away critical time that your child should be spent learning at school. Here are some general dress guidelines for our students that will help maintain school as a place for learning:

•Hats and hoods are not allowed once in the building. Stocking hats are allowed during recess.
