Every Friday is Patriot Day. On Patriot Day students may wear Wasatch Peak Academy t-shirts or Wasatch Peak Academy logo shirts and dress code bottoms. On free dress days, students are expected to dress in a manner that positively impacts the learning environment. Clothing must not compromise safety standards for our students. The following are not permitted: hats, costumes (unless specifically identified), baggy or saggy pants, tank tops, shorts or skirts higher than mid-thigh, bare feet, open toe or high-heeled (over 1/2 inch) shoes, and clothing that displays obscene, drug related, vulgar, or sexually explicit words, messages, or pictures, or clothing reasonably assumed as gang-related. Clothing must not expose midriffs, buttocks, or undergarments.
As styles change, or if questions arise, the Principal, as the Governing Boards’ designee, has the authority to determine whether or not a student’s dress is in keeping with this policy. Students may not opt-out of this policy, but the Principal may at any time during the school year grant an exemption from this policy to a student because of extenuating circumstances. Parents who have a complaint or concern with respect to this policy, including regarding a denial of a requested exemption from this policy, should follow the school’s Grievance Policy for Parents.
