Additional Guidelines:
Students attending IN-Tech Academy MS/HS 368 should come to school prepared. The full, complete uniform must be worn at all times, including arrival at school and dismissal from school. Wearing attire bearing an expression or insignia that is gang-related, obscene, libelous, or which advocates racial or religious prejudice is prohibited. In addition, the guidelines listed below for clothing and manners of dress should be followed.
-
Exposure of one’s midriff is not allowed.
-
No cutoffs, tank tops, halter-tops, hats or non-religious headgear, bandannas, scarves, vests, or hoodies may be worn in school.
-
If possible, sneakers should be worn only during gym periods; slippers, crocks, or sandals are not to be
worn at any time. -
Capri pants, shorts, tights and spandex leggings cannot be substituted for slacks.
-
A full uniform must be worn even on the student’s birthday.
Students who are out of uniform will receive one verbal warning from staff. Subsequently, STUDENTS WHO ARE
OUT OF UNIFORM WILL MEET WITH THE COUNSELOR/DEAN. PARENTS/GUARDIANS WILL BE CONTACTED. After the second infraction, parents/guardians will be called, and students will receive an after-school detention.
Our aim: To consistently look and act professionally and to represent the IN-Tech team.
