DRESS CODE POLICY

 

In accordance with New York City Department of Education (DOE) policy, students have the right to determine their attire, except where the dress is dangerous, interferes with the teaching and learning process, or violates the DOE’s anti-discrimination policy. Schools have the right to set forth a policy that supports these goals. We expect ALL students to dress for success at Tottenville High School. THS is committed to creating an atmosphere focused on academic achievement and personal development.

 

Dress Code Policy General Regulations:  All clothing and accessories, as per Department of Education regulations, must be appropriate for learning. The following list includes items that are prohibited, but not limited, to be worn in school by all students: 

 

  • Low-cut blouses, tube/halter tops, bralettes, and sports bras worn as shirts,  midriff tops (i.e. crop top) or off the shoulder tops, No “muscle” tank tops (i.e., cut out tanks).

  • Short shorts, mini-skirts. All shorts/skirts must meet at a relaxed hand level.
