Dress code for Continuous Curriculum School, Spokane Valley WA

I am more concerned about the misappropriate comments the staff members have said to my daughter. Whose close are not revealing at all.

I feel so sad for my friends girls who are directly being affected by this! They're good girls who are very modest!!!

My question is definitely, whom are these mysterious mothers? Have they joined the PTSA? Have they been at the school for long? What possible shaming can be done, if they're following simple protocol? And maybe a few other not as polite ones, but I have tact.

Thinking a step was passed by talking to the principal and jumping to a petition. Even if you get the signatures, you're still going to have to join the PTSA to have a say. Secondly, is this a petition to prevent body shaming or allow yoga pants? Thirdly, no parents want or expect students to be humiliated, but there are these standardized rules for a reason, and you're going to have to have a better argument than creating standards like, yes you can wear yoga pants, but not ones that are to tight or see through. Who's the judge of visibility in that case and tightness? The students seeing through the pants or the teacher saying "hey, I can see your panty outline because you lifted your arm to high to answer a question...?" Meh... And lastly, don't stand in center hall in front of kindergarten parents. Honestly, most parents who would be obliged to agree, are done with walking in and waiting for their 6-8th grade students. Form a meeting, like at lets say, a PTSA meeting and start your discussion there. Believe me, I've had my share of controversial moments, and If I skipped steps 2-4 and jumped straight to 5, I'd have gotten nowhere.

LEAVE THE DRESS CODE AS IS. I see no problem with the dress code as it is currently written. It's currently more lenient than it was just two years ago, when sleeves had to be T-shirt length. I welcome the requirement for CCS kids to be required to dress with some amount of professionalism. They won't have the option to do whatever they want later in their careers. Further, if a child feels "shamed" because they misunderstood the dress code or "just forgot" that day, perhaps they will remember next time. Embarrassment is not the end of the world. I had to laugh at the letter sent home anonymously on blue paper today. On it was written something about the "damage being done to our children in the process." Actually, a dress code is not damaging your child, and if you think so, you might want to ask yourself why. I have heard of situations elsewhere where the application of a dress code may be a gross overstep of authority, however, to my knowledge, the enforcement of the dress code at CCS has been carried out in a professional and respectable manner. I know many will disagree with me on this, but I believe that some amount of respectability is better for the well-being of the child in the long run. Further, the enforcement of simple rules put into place in an effort to make the environment more conducive to learning is not something I want changed.

Stop this shaming of our young people!!!!'

This should never happen.

I am looking at the dress code now and am unsure what the problem is. To me it is a pretty standard dress code. I personally wouldn't want my daughter going to school in shorts or a skirt that was above the required fingertip length. Nor would I want her wearing leggings without the addition of a longer shirt that covers her appropriately. These leggings look like tights and thus should be paired with proper shirt (longer in length). Not everyone would agree or even agree what the "proper shirt" length is, as everyone has different opinions on what is acceptable. That is why they have a dress code. The same goes for tank tops. They are great if you are just out and about at the beach or running around. Would you wear one to work? Most businesses wouldn't allow it. School is your child's "job". It is preparing your child for the work force. We dress a certain way for work, for church, and for school. These children are going to have rules and regulations wherever they go in life- all through life. They will certainly have a dress code at any place of employment that they encounter in their life. I personally am not aware of what the situation was. So as far as that goes, I can't say. I do think that the issue of improper dress should be addressed by calling a student up and sending them to the office for it to be handled behind closed doors. I copied the dress code straight from the CCS website and I think that there is nothing wrong with it. Just my opinion. Clothing Guide We ask your cooperation in helping your student dress appropriately for school, as if going to work. As a K-8 school community that focuses on learning and social development, we understand the importance of appropriate clothing and accessories worn at all times. Weather sometimes has a direct effect on the appropriate clothing. During the winter months students should wear warm comfortable clothing to school. Water resistant footwear is especially important when we

I can do this, think this should change for good. girls can not dress what they want.

I think girls should have the right to select any clothing item without a limit of arms length. Also I think students should not be changed of because of what we dress and get in trouble for it I STAND EGANST THE RULES OF CCS. I LIKE THAT SCHOOL BUT DRESS CODE MUST BE CHANGED

Dress code should be enforced but a note home that needs to be signed by students and parents is more effective than bullying by the teachers.

I can't believe this is happening! Something has to change
