Origins High School Dress Code
We have opted to have a dress code instead of uniforms because we, as a learning
community, believe in individuality. Proper attire for the professional workplace will be
expected. The attire students’ wear should reflect their personality as scholars.
The dress policy outlined below will govern the entire school year, and families will be
notified of any changes via email. We are thrilled to provide outstanding academic and
extracurricular programming for your child and their attire should reflect accordingly.
Proper school attire should not be revealing, lewd or extreme as to create a disturbance
to the educational environment. Any type of clothing that does create such a
disturbance is not acceptable. Please note the following guidelines:




Students shall be responsible for maintaining pants and skirts in an appropriate
manner. All pants and skirts should be secured at waist level and may not fall
below the waist to such a degree that a student’s posterior or underwear is
shown in any manner.
Head coverings and bandanas except for religious purposes, for both males and
females, are not permitted.
Halter-tops, tank tops and tube tops are not permitted unless worn with a
covering shirt or jacket. Tops must extend to the waist and meet the waistband
of pants, skirts or shorts. Shoulders and backs should not be bare.
Skirts must extend to the length of one’s fingertips when standing straight up.
Shorts are expected to be knee length. Mini-skirts may not be worn.
Slogans, printed words or pictures that are obscene, offensive or deemed
inappropriate by school officials cannot appear on clothing.
Students who arrive to school dressed inappropriately will have their parents
contacted, may not be permitted to attend classes, and will be required to
change into more appropriate attire.
Students who repeatedly disregard the dress code will face more severe
disciplinary action as afforded by the NYC Department of Education Discipline
Code.
Please feel free to contact an administrator with any clarifying questions.
