Electronic Devices
Per ASD's Electronic Communication Devices (ECD) Policy, students are not permitted to access ECDs during school hours, 9:30am-4:00pm, but may access them before and after school. All devices should be put away and not visible during prohibited hours. Students who may require the use of an ECD for medical or other needs will be approved on a case-by-case basis. Students are required to turn over their ECD when requested to by school personnel; refusal to do so may result in disciplinary actions. Parents will be required to pick up the ECD from the Front Office during the working hours of 8:15am-4:45pm.
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, ball caps, 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.
Students who wear inappropriate clothing to school will be required to change into something appropriate. This will be accomplished by having parents/guardians bring appropriate clothes to school, or exchanging inappropriate clothes for clothes provided if available, by the school. If you have ay questions about the appropriateness of what your child intends to wear to school, please call 907-742-0698 and speak with the Assistant Principal.
