Dress Code

What is the Dress Code at Cameron?

In accordance with our school’s goals, to promote high expectations of academic achievement, and to make Cameron School a positive learning climate, we are asking that you ensure that your child is wearing the following adopted dress code. Research supports that with a reasonable dress code, students are engaged in serious academic work right from the start.

Please help us maintain a positive learning environment by purchasing the appropriate clothing when shopping.   The consequences for not being in the proper dress code will be as follows. Your child will be given two warning notes for being out of compliance and will be asked to turn a non-school logo shirt inside out.  Finally, with the third offense you will be asked to bring a change of clothes to school. 

THE DAILY APPROVED UNIFORM FOR CAMERON SCHOOL IS:

  • Shirts/Blouses:  Any solid color (no stripes/patterns/graphics/words) shirt, such as a polo, button-down or turtleneck is acceptable. The shirt/blouse must cover the student’s midriff even when the arms are raised.  All shirts must have a collar.  School Logo T-shirts and 100 Mile Club T-shirts are acceptable any day.   Solid colored or school logo sweatshirts are always acceptable.
  • Pants, Shorts, Skorts, Skirts, Jumpers:  The following colors are acceptable - Navy, denim, khaki, olive, gray, or black, or plain colored jeans. Pants/shorts must not be torn or have frayed edges. Yoga/spandex pants are not allowed. Solid colored leggings may be worn under skirts, skorts, or shorts in the above approved colors.
  • Hats/Beanies: Only solid colored hats may be worn during recess time to keep sun off their faces. Solid colored beanies may be worn outside during cold months.
