Lee Co Pre-K is an active and fun place to learn. Children paint, glue, play in the sand and water, and play outdoors each day (weather permitting.) We strongly encourage you to send your child to school in clothing suitable for these activities.
Make sure your child’s clothes are easy to pull up and down for restroom needs and fasteners are easily manipulated. Tennis shoes work best for all activities. If your child is wearing a dress, please make sure they have shorts on underneath. Please refrain from attaching safety pins to your child's clothing due to safety issues.
The following items are considered inappropriate for students to wear at Lee County Pre-K:
- shirts should fully cover the torso and chest area and have straps/shoulder coverings no less than one inch.
- skirts, dresses, and shorts (no cutoffs) must be worn no more than 5 inches above the knee. The right to wear shorts may be taken away if a student repeatedly violates the dress code.
- clothing that makes reference to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, sex, race, etc. clothing that implies an attitude that being disrespectful is acceptable.
- all clothes must be worn as they are made. Pants/shorts must be worn correctly, and at NO TIME shall be worn below the waist.
- Shoes with a heel more that 2 inches high. Shoes with wheels, cleats, and/or spikes are not appropriate for school. Tennis shoes are recommended.
- hats, caps, scarves, handkerchiefs, or bandanas worn as a headpiece.
- jeans/pants or tops with an excessive amount of holes or wear and tear; no holes that show skin above knee.
If your child has an accident, we will assist with cleaning and changing, if needed. If it is an extreme case, you may be called to pick up your child. Soiled clothes will be placed in a plastic bag and sent home in the book bag. It is important that you check the bag each night and send a replacement change of clothes with the child the next day in a labeled ziploc bag.
