Clothing & Dress Code Guidelines
Lee County Pre-K is an active and fun place to learn! Children paint, glue, explore sand and water, and play outdoors daily (weather permitting). We strongly encourage you to send your child to school in clothing that is comfortable and appropriate for these activities.
Please ensure your child’s clothing:
- Is easy to pull up and down for restroom independence
- Has fasteners that children can manage on their own
- Includes tennis shoes, which work best for all activities
- Includes shorts worn under dresses or skirts
Dress Code Expectations
The following items are considered inappropriate for students:
- Shirts must fully cover the torso and chest area, with straps/shoulder coverings at least one inch wide
- Skirts, dresses, and shorts (no cutoffs) must be no more than 5 inches above the knee
- Clothing that references alcohol, tobacco, drugs, sex, race, or promotes disrespectful behavior
- Clothing worn improperly (pants/shorts must be worn at the waist at all times)
- Shoes with heels higher than 2 inches, or shoes with wheels, cleats, or spikes
- Hats, caps, scarves, handkerchiefs, or bandanas worn as head coverings
- Clothing with excessive holes or wear; no holes above the knee that expose skin
