School Uniforms

School uniforms are coordinated between Mrs. Hammond and the program instructors.

The appearance of a student preparing for the world of work should reflect both the trade area in which he/she is enrolled and promote the student's entrance into employment. Clothing and apparel must not be disruptive to other students and school staff. From an educational viewpoint, no student has absolute freedom of choice in wearing clothing, not wearing certain items of clothing, and/or presenting an appearance that infringes on other students' right to learn by causing a disruptive situation in the classroom atmosphere. Parents will be contacted and students will be sent home when students arrive dressed inappropriately. Clothing must not be immodest, distracting, or revealing in any way. Based on suggestions from advisory council members, the following guidelines, enforced by all SCCTC personnel, are to be followed:

The dress code will require students to be dressed in the customary T-shirts/sweatshirts and coordinating scrubs/uniform for their programs. An example of the dress code for a program would be as follows:

• MOM students would wear their program assigned T-shirts Monday, Wednesday, and Friday and their program associated scrubs on Tuesday and Thursday.

The shirts/scrubs will be issued to the students within the first few weeks of school. Once the students have their uniforms they will be required to wear them in lab and their academic classes on a daily basis.

• Shoes are to be worn at all times. Hard sole/steel toe shoes must be worn in lab areas as determined by the lab instructor and administrative staff.

• Protective eye/head wear must be worn in lab areas as determined by the instructor and administrative staff.
