It is getting warmer and we want children to dress for success. Below is the dress code for all the middle schools and your help is appreciated. When students are seen with violations we have them come down to the office and try to find a solution which can include finding a cover up, borrowing an item, or even calling home. While we have never been perfect, know that we are doing our best to be fair. School is a place for learning and our hope is that you will help us send that message to your child.
The following standards will be observed at all Farmington middle schools:
- Pants must be worn appropriately. No sagging allowed.
- Shirts, blouses, and dresses must completely cover the abdomen, back and shoulders (no tank-tops). Shirts or tops must cover the waistband of pants, shorts, or skirts with no midriff visible.
- No low cut tops allowed; no exposed cleavage at any time. Tops that are cut more than 2 inches below the collar bone are subject to correction.
- Head apparel, except for religious or medical purposes, must not be worn inside the school building.
- Footwear is required and must be safe and appropriate for indoor and outdoor activity. No bedroom slippers allowed.
- Clothing and accessories such as backpacks, patches, jewelry and notebooks must not display offensive messages including but not limited to any of the following: 1) racial or ethnic slurs/symbols, 2) gang affiliations, 3) vulgar, subversive, or sexually suggestive language or images, 4) products which students may not legally buy such as alcohol, tobacco, firearms and illegal drugs.
- Skirts and dresses should be approximately knee length. Skirts or dresses more than 2 inches above the knee are subject to correction. Shorts should be mid-thigh length or longer. Shorts more than 4 inches above the knee are subject to correction.

When leaving a message on the night tape, please pronounce the child’s name and grade clearly and/or spell the last name. [If you’ve been up until 3:00 a.m. with a sick child, you may appreciate the option to report the child’s absence right then and choose to sleep late.] To obtain a prearranged absence, parents must either send a written request to the school office or call in advance. The note must include the student’s first and last name, grade, and reason for date(s) of absence.
If a child is late for school, they must report to the main office to obtain a late pass. Students leaving school early must sign out in the main office and sign in when returning.
