DRESS CODE REMINDER! 

With warm weather fast approaching, it is time once again to remind students that there is a dress code at EVHS and it needs to be followed. As fashion changes, there are a few things that need further clarification in our dress code that is in the student handbook students will receive the first week of school –this is not the entire dress code, but parts that are important. It is our hope that the information below will help you and your student dress appropriately for the educational environment.

ALL STUDENTS MUST WEAR THEIR ID BADGE WHILE AT SCHOOL!

GIRLS

v Short pants (shorts)– inseam measurement must be at least 5 inches. (Inseam is the measurement from the crotch seam of the garment to the end of the leg fabric on the inside of the leg.) No holes/rips/or tears. Running shorts are not acceptable.

v Jeans/pants– if the jeans/pants have holes/rips/tears in them, the holes/rips/tearsmay not be higherthan mid thigh.

v Dresses/skirts– Dressesmustmeet the same requirements for tops and the length of a skirt or a dress must be one inch below the tips of the fingers when arms are relaxed at your side.

v Tops– Excessively revealing tops (those that exposeanyamountof cleavage), exposed underwear (bras/camisoles), tube tops, halter tops, off the shoulder tops, tops that expose the midriff or back, sheer or see through clothing are not allowed. The width of straps on the shoulder of a top must be at least 2 finger widths wide. Racer back tops with at least 7 inches of coverage in the back and no straps showing are allowed.

BOYS

v Pants– No holes in pants or shorts between mid thigh and waist. No undergarments are to be showing.

v Shirts– No muscle shirts or tank tops that are cut low under the arm are allowed.

GENERAL CLOTHING ITEMS

v Footwear– Required at all times.

v Sunglasses– No dark sunglasses unless prescribed by a doctor, are to be worn inside the building.

v Pajamas– Not appropriate for an educational setting.

 SCHOOL SAFETY

 
At East Valley High School, we make student safety a priority. Incidents like the recent shooting tragedy in Connecticut, give us pause to review our safety plans and procedures. When we returned from Winter Break, we had a walk through with an expert on school security who made several recommendations. As a result of that opportunity we are instituting some new policies and making plans for improvements to our security. 

Beginning Monday, January 28, 2013, all staff and students will be required to wear their school name/identification badges whenever they are in the building. Students will be required to wear their identification/ASB cards on a lanyard around their neck and we will be providing lanyards to all students on the 28^th. Students who have misplaced their identification card can get one made in the Library free of charge. Beginning February 1, 2013, students who do not wear their identification will receive a warning, and then a detention. 

Within the next week we will be replacing two security cameras outside and upgrading one inside the building.

In the near future, we will be changing the visitor entrance to the school during school hours. When the remodeling to make that occur is finished, we will inform you all how it will work.

We have several community members, parents, etc. who have keys for this building due to facilities usage outside of school hours. We are asking that anyone who uses this building be sure that the door locks behind you when you leave.

The more we work together, the safer we can make East Valley High School.

Sincerely,

Dottie Say, Principal
