Students are expected to dress in a neat, attractive fashion reflecting pride in themselves and in their school. The dress code is established to help ensure an atmosphere conducive to study and prevent drawing attention to self. Pride in student dress will be one of the observable differences at Thomas Edison Charter School. It is the responsibility of parents and children to ensure compliance with the dress code.

• The official school shirt has a collar, short or long sleeves and is long enough to remain tucked. Shirts will be in any solid color except black.


• Boys and girls pants or knee length shorts will be a solid color in khaki, navy, or black.


• Girls knee length skirts, skorts, or jumpers will be a solid color in khaki, navy, black, or approved school plaid. Approved school plaid is Green Plaid from French Toast Clothing Company or Hunter Classic Navy Plaid from Land's End.


• A sweater or vest, in any solid color except black, may be worn when needed.

Occasional exceptions, consistent with the intest of the dress code for special events (such as Boy or Girl Scout uniforms), may be approved by the principal. The principal will interpret and resolve all issues regarding the dress code.
