• This year Hanshew is introducing PBIS (Positive 
      Behavioral Interventions and Support). PBIS is a research
      based framework for teaching and supporting positive
      behavior for ALL students. This school-wide approach
      focuses on building a safe and positive environment in
      which all students can learn. In support of this Hanshew
      has adopted these 4 simple principles for staff and 
      students to follow.
    • S - Safe
    • O - On Task
    • A - Accountable
    • R - Respectful

Dress Code

  • Hanshew Middle School dress code will be enforced at all times. Dress at school needs to be appropriate; it cannot be disruptive to learning, unsafe or gang-related. Dress that has writing or images related to alcohol, tobacco, other drugs, sex, or gangs is inappropriate. The following are examples of inappropriate clothing:

     

    • Headgear/Head coverings of any kind is prohibited unless worn for a medical, cultural, and/or religious expression. Exceptions will be considered for spirit weeks, special celebrations, and other concerns.
    • Clothing that is too revealing:  too small, see-through or sagging, exposed midriffs, low-cut tops or sides, strapless, spaghetti straps, no tank-tops, short-shorts, short skirts (more than 2 inches above the top of a knee cap), or any combination of shorts and leggings, short skirt and leggings, short dress and leggings.

     

    ○ Clothing that is too large, baggy, or bulky. Examples include: oversize jeans, oversize shirts. Pants that are too big to stay up above the hipbones without a belt are too baggy.

     

    ○ During the winter months (2nd and 3rd quarter), no flip flops, sandals, open-toed shoes or slippers. This is a safety hazard that could cause frostbite during safety drills and evacuations.

     

    ○ Outerwear (coats, heavy jackets, heavy vests, hats, sunglasses) must be stored in the lockers.

     

    ○ Undergarments and the students' rear MUST remain entirely covered even while seated.

     

    ○ NO dresses, skirts and shorts or pants that are too short and revealing are allowed. No exposed skin shown on the upper thigh area.
