Red Ribbon Week

RED RIBBON WEEK

For each day of Red Ribbon Week, please adhere to the dress down day guidelines on page 20  in the Student/Parent Handbook as outlined below:

Dress Up Theme Days and Dress Down Days

We love dressing up and having fun at MQPCS!  However, Dress Down Days at MQPCS are not Free Dress or “wear what you want” days. If  students are not dressing according to the theme of the day, they should wear their school uniform or MQPCS spirit shirts with P.E. shorts/pants and tennis shoes.

The following are dress up day reminders to ensure that students have fun and are dressed appropriately for school for any Dress Down Day. Costumes should not be worn unless stated otherwise. Face paint and/or makeup should not be worn.

• Shorts  and skirts should be finger tip length. This means that if you hold your arm straight down against your leg and your skirt /shorts do not extend to your fingertips, then you must wear leggings underneath.

• Tights/Yoga Pants/Leggings- Must be worn with shorts.       

• Inappropriate clothing (ex: too tight, too short, too revealing,  offensive words or pictures) should not be worn.

• Students who disregard these reminders will be asked to call home to get appropriate clothing.  

• On dress down days the following dress code must be followed:

• Tops:  Shirts, blouses, and sweatshirts that are school appropriate.  Shirts or blouses that expose the midriff are not permitted.  Students may not wear spaghetti straps or                            sleeveless blouses. Shirts or blouses may not be low-cut.  Writing and/or logos must be school appropriate.  

• Bottoms:  Jeans - Plain, traditional cut and fit, long blue jeans. Low riding jeans that expose the midriff are not permitted. Jeans must not have tears, holes, slits, etc. 
  Shorts - Length of shorts should be finger tip length  (shorts that do not meet the required length must be worn with tights/yoga pants/leggings). Cut off shorts or cut off blue jean shorts are not permitted. PE shorts are allowed.
  Sweatpants - School and athletic sweatpants are allowed.
  Uniform Skort - PK3 to 3rd Grade girls uniform skort can be worn on dress down days with appropriate t-shirt and on Fridays with House t-shirt.
  Tights/Yoga Pants/Leggings- Must be worn with shorts.
