Dress Code

Columbine Hills Elementary Dress Code

School Board policy states, “The appearance of dress of students shall not be disruptive to the educational process or constitute a health or safety hazard.”

The Columbine Hills Elementary (CHE) staff promotes that dressing appropriately for school helps to keep the focus on learning. We ask that students follow these expectations when getting dressed for school.

  • Be neat and clean
  • Professional Length
  • Ability to play safely: No unsafe shoes. Heely’s and flip-flops are not allowed
  • Clothes cannot distract other learners
  • Appropriate language/advertising
  • Hats for special occasions only

Please help us protect your child by ensuring that adequate clothing is worn during the winter. We will attempt to send all children outside except on the very coldest, wettest days when the temperature and/or wind chill factor is 20 degrees or below. A breath of fresh air does wonders for wiggles.

In the event students arrive at school dressed inappropriately, parents will be contacted to make arrangements for suitable clothing to be obtained.

A Note to Parents: It is very appropriate for you to set limits for your children as to dress and hairstyles. You may hear things such as “everybody does it” and when you do, please remember that “everybody doesn’t.” Encourage and enjoy their childhood. The rest will come soon enough.

Dress Code Guidance in Jeffco

Responsibility for student dress and appearance generally rests with individual students and their families. Students may wish to express themselves by the manner of their dress and appearance; however, students shall not wear clothing or affect an appearance at school or school-sanctioned activities or events that is disruptive to the educational environment. Jeffco Public Schools standards on student attire are intended to help students focus on schoolwork, reduce discipline problems, and improve school order and safety.

Disciplinary action for violating the student dress code shall include notifying the student of the violation and requiring that the dress or appearance be corrected before the student reenters the classroom, school environment, or school-sanctioned activity or event. At the discretion of the building-level administrator, a family conference may be held. More serious consequences may result from repeated or serious violations.
