Dear Kaplan Families,
With the warmer weather fast approaching, I would like to remind students and parents of our expectations for dress at Kaplan Career Academy. The dress code policy is available in full on the district and school websites, but to summarize, students must abide by the following guidelines:
All attire must be safe, appropriate, and not disruptive of the educational process.
Clothing that is excessively tight or close-fitting, such as one-piece “cat suits” and body suits are not permitted
Low-cut garments such as tube tops, net tops, crop tops, spaghetti straps, plunging necklines (front and/or back), and see-through garments are not permitted.
Shorts, skirts, and dresses should not be above mid-thigh.
Underwear must be completely covered (no sagging pants).
Footwear must be worn at all times.
Clothing that is vulgar, obscene, suggestive, or that targets others on account of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, or disability is not permitted.
Clothing that promotes or endorses the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, or any other illegal activity is not permitted. This includes clothing that displays gang affiliations.
Pajamas and other sleeping attire is not permitted, and students may not bring pillows or blankets to school.
Any student who refuses to modify his/her dress to comply with the above guidelines will be subject to disciplinary consequences, up to and including suspension from school.
Our goal at Kaplan is to prepare our students for their futures beyond school. We appreciate your collaboration in this endeavor by assisting us in supporting the school dress code. If you have any questions or concerns, please feel free to share them with us.
Sincerely,
JP & Ms. Miller
