Stambaugh Middle School
2016 -2017 Dress Code Policy
A positive relationship exists between a student’s actions, accomplishments and in the way he/she
dresses. The appearance of any young person is the responsibility of the individual and his/her
parents. We expect students to maintain the type of appearance that is not a distraction to teachers
or other students. These distractions are detrimental to the educational process. UNIFORMS are
included in the dress code. The standard uniform for our school is as follows:
