Dress Code
Minneha Core Knowledge Magnet Dress Code Policy 2024
*Administration will have the final say regarding any and all dress code concerns.
Minneha Standardized Dress Code
Parents and staff at Minneha Elementary believe that students should dress in a manner and style that promotes a positive, safe school climate and enhances self-image for students. A standardized dress code:
Promotes an atmosphere of discipline and learning that enhances academic achievement.
Values students for their character, by providing an equal socioeconomic footing for all, eliminating "label competition."
Fosters a school’s sense of "community" by enhancing self-respect, school pride and students’ self-esteem.
Lessens distractions in the classroom and upholds modesty standards.
