Dress Code

 

  Cameron School Dress Policy 

2024-2025

 

The West Covina Unified School District Board of Education believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment.  A school may adopt a dress code policy that requires pupils to wear a school-wide uniform (EC 35183). 

In alignment with our school's mission to foster academic excellence and cultivate a positive learning atmosphere at Cameron School, all students are required to adhere to our dress code. Your cooperation in selecting suitable attire is crucial in upholding our commitment to a conducive learning environment. Thank you for your support in this endeavor.

Shirts/Blouses: Solid-colored shirts or blouses without graphics or words are acceptable. The shirt/blouse must cover the student’s midriff even when the arms are raised. School Logo T-shirts are acceptable. No undergarments shall be showing.  Attire that is low-cut or revealing is not permitted.  Examples: clothing that is too tight, exposes midriff, or is see-through. 

Pants, Shorts, Skorts, Skirts, Jumpers, Leggings: This clothing cannot be torn, have holes, or have frayed edges. Solid colored, non-see-through, leggings may be worn. Skirts, shorts, and dresses must be at least the length of the tip of the student’s fingers. This clothing must fit sufficiently without a belt. Bottoms can be any solid color. 

Hats/Beanies: Hats/beanies with appropriate logos and non offensive language may be worn only when outside. Hats may not be worn inside school buildings. Hats must be worn with the bill or brim facing forward on the head.

Jackets/Sweaters/Sweatshirts: Outerwear may not be oversized. Outerwear may have pictures, graphics, or patterns.  Any writing on the outerwear must show respect for all and ensure that words, pictures, or graphics are not violent or offensive to others.  

Jewelry, Accessories, Shoes: Jewelry or accessories that pose a safety risk or could be used as a weapon are prohibited. This includes any distracting or hazardous adornments—additionally, tattoos, whether real or temporary, and makeup is not allowed. Items like headbands adorned with spikes or ears are also prohibited due to their potential to cause distraction. All shoes must be closed-toed shoes. Shoes with lights/wheels, crocs, and sandals are not permitted. False nails (acrylic/press-on) pose a safety issue and, therefore, are prohibited. 

 

School Spirit Days:

All students are encouraged to participate in our Fun Friday Spirit Days. Information about Fun Friday will be posted on our social media and Parent Square.
