UNIFORM POLICY  

EES has an established uniform that meets the Islamic dress code requirements. All students must comply and adhere to the school uniform. Eman Elementary School has decided to adopt the following dress code for all boys and girls.

Objective:

Eman Elementary School Board believes that a mandatory school uniform policy will promote an atmosphere for greater discipline, and increase learning opportunities for students by removing many of the distractions and connotations associated with various types of clothing. All EES Students are required to wear uniforms to class.

Appearance:

Students shall be expected to maintain a neat, clean, and well-groomed   appearance at school. Shirttails must be tucked in for boys only and girls should wear shirts untucked. Undergarments must not be visible. No article of clothing shall be bizarre in style, unsuitable for school activities, or of a nature to call undue attention to the wearer.

Since school life prepares students to take their place in adult life, these primary requirements are expected of all students. The first responsibility for maintaining proper standards belongs to the student and parents, or guardian. The school should deal with this responsibility when the student or parents fail to recognize this need.

The Uniform:

• Pants; Navy Blue
• Dress shirt or oxford shirt or polio shirts with collar; light blue or  
  white for boys and light pink or white for girls.
• Jumpers (optional); Navy Blue. (The length of the jumper shall be mid  
  calf or below knee length.)
• Scarves; Solid, Plain White; KG-3rd must have one for prayer, 4th-6th  
  must be worn at all times.
• Cold Weather Apparel; Navy Blue, or Black
• Hose (Optional in place of pants for Girls Grades KG through 6th); White
• Socks; Solid Light Blue, Navy Blue, Black or White (To match the uniform)
• Shoes; Black or white (Dress shoes are recommended; white sneakers are  
  acceptable.)

Cold Weather Apparel:

• Outerwear coats may be of any color, but may not be worn in class.
• Innerwear must be navy blue or black.
• Leggings of navy blue may be worn in place of hose
• Visible brand-name labels, logos or designs are not permitted on winter apparel (Example: Guess, Trench coats, Tommy Hilfiger, Camouflage, etc.)
• Extremes in size, style or fit are not appropriate and will not be permitted.

Violations:

The principal or his or her designee(s) will determine if the uniform policy has been violated. Any prohibited items of clothing will be taken by school officials and returned to the parent or guardian only. On special school days, the principal may not require students to wear the uniform. During these times, students must wear attire that is in accordance with school policy and the Islamic dress code.

Consequences of Violations:

First Offense:

Student will receive a pink slip regarding the dress code violation for the parent to sign and return to the office.
