Rock Hill School District
Employee
Dress Code
This is a summary of the Employee Dress Code for the Rock Hill School District and should be followed by all EDUC 110 students who are working in Rock Hill schools unless otherwise advised by school or school district personnel.
The Rock Hill School District is responsible for educating
children to prepare them for successful and useful roles in our society.
It is the responsibility of all employees to serve as role models for
students and present a positive, professional image in language, behavior, and
dress. Appropriate dress is a
rational means of promoting respect for authority, traditional values, and
discipline.
All personnel working within the schools shall dress during
the instructional day in accordance with the following guidelines:
Male:
dress shirt or sport shirt with collar, polo shirt, sweater, slacks, shoes
(except sandals) with socks
Female:
slacks, skirts of modest length, dresses, jumpers, sweaters, polo shirts.
Shirts or tops without collars are acceptable as long as the compliment
other attire being worn and are not too casual.
Capri or cropped pants and city/walking shorts or skorts worn must be
worn with a jacket or sleeved top and appropriate shoes.
Shoes:
Personnel should wear shoes that provide support and protection.
While athletic-type shoes are not preferred, they are acceptable if they
compliment the other attire being worn. They
are inappropriate for office personnel. Sandals,
preferably with backs, are acceptable; however, beach-type shoes, such as
flip-flops, shower shoes, and plastic shoes are not appropriate at any time.
Inappropriate
dress or personal grooming includes, but is not limited to:
denim jeans of all colors
warm-up pants or suits, sweat or tee shirts, overalls
work clothes (except for specific assignments or on work days)
clothing or accessories with slogans that are suggestive of drugs,
alcohol, sex, or
provocative clothing (thin straps, tube tops, low necklines, strapless,
too tight, too
display of controversial tattoos and body piercings (eyebrow, nose,
tongue) that are disruptive to the teaching/learning process
Spirit
Days, Teacher Workdays, Outings, Field Trips, Staff Development Days:
Inquire about the dress that is appropriate on these special days if you
are to be present.
For further clarification, please consult the teacher or a
school administrator. However, a
good rule of thumb to follow would be: If
the thought crosses your mind that your dress may not be appropriate, it
probably isn’t!
