Dress Code

  • Shoes must be worn at all times. Sandals must have closed toes and heel straps. Thongs or other backless shoes or sandals are not acceptable. Shoes with wheels or made for stunts are not permitted. No High Heels.
  • Make-up is inappropriate in the elementary school. Dangling earrings, chains, and keys worn visibly around the neck are unsafe and are not acceptable.
  • Clothing and jewelry shall be free of writing, pictures or other insignia which are crude, vulgar, profane and/or sexually suggestive or which advertise or advocate racial, ethnic or religious prejudice or the use of drugs, tobacco or alcohol.
  • Hats, caps, visors and other head coverings shall not be worn indoors. They may be worn only for the intended purpose of sun-protection. They are not acceptable worn backwards, to the side, or if they are not an effective sun damage deterrent.
  • Clothes shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. See-through or fishnet fabrics, halter tops, off-the-shoulder or low cut tops, spaghetti strap tops, bare midriffs and skirts or shorts shorter than mid-thigh are not acceptable.
  • Articles of clothing and accessories, including hats, belts, books, binders, lunch bags, etc. adorned with graffiti or alleging gang affiliations are not acceptable.
  • Hair color (blue, red) and styles that call excessive attention to the individual are inappropriate for elementary school children, and therefore not allowed at Muraoka Elementary.
  • Cell Phones: CVESD BP5131 Students/Conduct - Prohibited student conduct includes, but is not limited to: (#6) Except with prior consent for health reasons, possession or use of electronic signaling devices (Education Code 48901.5) Electronic signaling devices may include, but not be limited to, pagers, beepers, and cellular/digital telephones, iPods, cameras. If cell phones are brought to school, they must remain turned off and kept in back packs during the instructional day and including recess time. Students caught using cell phones or any other electronic devices will have the device/s taken by either the teacher or administrators. Devices will only be returned to the parent.

Furthermore, our school does not allow trading cards, electronics or personal toys (PSP's, balls) brought from home. Valuable items should stay home since the school is not responsible if they get lost, stolen or broken. The school staff reserves the right to make judgments on any article of clothing, mode of dress, or hair style which poses the potential for the disruption of learning and/or compromises a safe and orderly learning environment.

This policy, adopted by the Chula Vista Elementary School District Board of Education on March 7, 1995, describes the dress code expected at Muraoka Elementary School.
