 Uniform Enforcement Policy

Students in grades 1-8 who are not dressed in appropriate uniform attire compliant with our uniform policy will not be admitted to class.

There is a zero-tolerance policy for non-compliance.

Procedure: Should a student arrive at school in non-compliant attire, the student(s) will be instructed to wait at the front office and we will attempt to contact the parents.

1. Parents will have one hour to bring the child a change of clothing. The child will not be allowed to return to class until the parent arrives.

2. If available, parents can choose to have ASHAR provide their child with appropriate clothing at full retail-price. The Business Office will charge your FACTS account for the purchase.  This option will automatically be implemented if the parent is unreachable or does not arrive at school with proper clothing within one hour.

If a student misses an assignment, test, or other work due to lack of uniform compliance, he/she will be allowed to make it up the same day, time-permitting.  If there is insufficient time, or the student does not complete the work, the grade will stand as is.

Multiple violations of the uniform policy which indicate a pattern of intentional non-compliance will be treated as a serious problem and may affect the student’s grade. It will also be noted in the student’s permanent record.

The ASHAR administration maintains the right to decide if a student's dress is in accordance with the school dress code. Inappropriate alterations to the school uniform are not acceptable.

We believe this change will result in even better academic and emotional growth of our students by building a sense of belonging, fostering a sense of pride, and enhancing the overall environment in our school. As always, we welcome the opportunity to communicate with you. Thank you for your continued support of our Yeshiva.

Visitors:

Guests, including parents and grandparents, are respectfully requested to honor the dignity of our Yeshiva through appropriate dress.

• Men must wear long pants and kippot
• Women must wear a dress or skirt which reaches below knee length
• Modest necklines and appropriate sleeve length are required

Our children will learn from our example.
