Uniform Policy for the 2017-2018 school year

Success and leadership start with how we are dressed. At Hodgkins, our uniform policy gives all of our students their best chance at being safe and successful. Most professions as adults require a uniform or dress code. Sports teams, policemen, firemen, health professionals, lawyers, even clerks dress to accomplish their jobs. Uniforms identify members as a team or to reflect well on themselves, their employer/firm, and the public. Our Hodgkins student leaders dress as the leaders they are!  Our uniform policy is as follows:

• Tops are shades of blue, black, gray or white, plain, button up shirts (polo or full button). Students may wear plain blue, black or white sweaters or hoodies over shirts. Shirts must be tucked in if they are longer than pants pockets; otherwise, belts and tucking in are not required.
• Pants may be khaki, black or navy blue (docker style or carpenter okay), shorts, capris, skirts or skorts. Girls may wear plain black, navy blue, white or tan leggings under skirts, dresses, or shorts only. No leggings or tights may be worn as pants. Shorts and skirts/skorts must be an appropriate length. Sweats and pajama pants are not part of the uniform.
• Tennis shoes are required for participation in P.E. and are recommended for any outside activity. Shoes should be appropriate for the season such as boots in the winter. Shoes must be closed toe, no flip-flops or sandals are allowed.
• All uniform items are easily found at Walmart, Target, Old Navy, children’s stores, second hand stores, and thrift stores. PTA will also sponsor a $1 per item sale at the beginning of the year of donated uniforms.
