Authorization forms can be found on the district website or copies are available in the front office. This form must be completed annually. If you have questions, please contact your site credentialed school nurse at cstottsp@egusd.net.

Dress Expectations:

Parents or guardians have the primary responsibility for appropriate standards of dress and grooming. However, as an educational entity, Batey Elementary School has the responsibility to establish and maintain standards of dress and grooming that support a positive, appropriate, and safe learning and teaching environment. These dress expectations align with the dress code for the Pleasant Grove (PG) Region.

The purpose of dress expectations is to facilitate education, not to inhibit any person’s taste in attire or appearance. Students should be clean and neatly dressed in a manner that is appropriate for the school setting, not hazardous to their health and safety, and not disruptive or distracting from the school's educational program. In addition, no articles of clothing, apparel, or school materials, including hats, backpacks, and binders, may have pictures, printing, or writing that is crude, vulgar, profane, sexually suggestive, racially, ethnically, or religiously intolerant, that contain images of weapons, tobacco, drugs, and/or alcohol, or which the school’s administration reasonably predicts will disrupt the learning environment.

 Basic Principle: Certain Body Parts Must Be Covered for All Students

Students are required, at a minimum, to have outer clothing that covers and conceals the trunk or torso of their body from armpit level to thigh level at all times. The trunk or torso, including buttocks and chest, must be covered at all times, including when students are sitting, reaching, and/or bending. In addition:
–Straps or sleeves must secure tops with necklines that fall below the armpits.
–The hem of the shirt must cover the rib cage.
– Students must wear shoes at all times. All sandals must have a backstrap for safety purposes. 

The school administration may limit or prohibit specific clothing that has been determined by law enforcement or gang experts to be affiliated with an actual gang. In consultation with law enforcement or other gang experts, the school administration may limit clothing or apparel when there is a reasonable basis to identify such clothing or apparel as gang-affiliated. Limitations and prohibitions on gang-related clothing or apparel will be applied equally to all students, and in no instance will a student’s clothing or apparel be identified as gang-related based solely on the student’s race, national origin, or ancestry.
