Dress Code Policy

Purpose: Pathway’s dress code develops a professional atmosphere where the focus is on a positive educational environment and promotes a positive image of self and school.

 

Policy: It is the policy of the Hartford Board of Education to reasonably regulate the attire of students during the school day and during school-sponsored activities. To that end, all students in primary and secondary schools shall wear a school uniform. Further, in order to maintain an educational environment that is safe and conducive to the educational process, students in all grades shall abstain from wearing or possessing specified items during the school day. (Approved by the BOE August 19 th)

 

Proper Attire:

1. A tucked in short or long-sleeve polo shirt with a Pathways to Technology logo (acceptable colors: Grey, Black, Navy Blue, White; Red is no longer available for purchase but may be worn if purchased in the past.)
2. Beginning in 2009-2010 school year, all students must wear Dockers style pants (Black or Khaki), flat or pleated, belted at the waist or a solid color skirt knee length or longer.
3. Dress shoes, sneakers, or low cut boots are acceptable. Pants cannot be tucked into boots.
4. During cold-weather students may wear:

• A solid long sleeve shirt or turtleneck, in uniform colors, underneath their Pathways shirt.
• A fleece with Pathways to Technology logo
• A sweat shirt with Pathways to Technology logo

1. There are some activities that require the students to dress up for field-trips, presentations, job-shadowing or meetings. Teachers will inform students about these days and the appropriate attire.
2. Students actively participating on a sports team may wear the sports jersey over their regular Pathways uniform on game days.

 

Inappropriate Attire:

1. No hats, bandanas, du-rags, ski masks, scarves or headbands.
2. No T-shirts or Hoodies.
3. No Pajama pants, sweat pants, jeans, denim, cargo or tight-fitting pants.

The most misinterpreted parts of the dress code concerns the pants and hoodies. The pants cannot be tight-fitting, no matter how “dressy” they may be and they must be belted at the waist. Hoodies may not be worn under the uniform.
