What’s In An Outfit?IIf you would have asked me 25 years ago if clothing made a difference in the climate of a school, I would have said, “No”. However, I have years of anecdotal experience that tells me differently today. For instance, when the kids dress up for a concert, the majority of them carry themselves differently. When our students have their caps and gowns on for graduation, there is much more “pomp and circumstance” than at the graduation practices. That is why I am taking time here to talk about “dress”.Many students are coming to school in clothing that is not appropriate for school in accordance with our dress code. I realize that styles often dictate what can be purchased, but it is important that clothing be functional and not cause distraction. Two of our biggest issues right now are low cut shirts and “spaghetti straps”. In addition, there have been many female students in shorts that look more like bathing suit bottoms.Middle school is a challenging time for both students and teachers. The clothing our students wear contributes to the climate of our learning environment. The more the clothing, “pushes the envelope”, the more students become distracted, the less learning that takes place. Having your youth dress appropriately for school will assist in creating and maintaining a healthy learning environment.I tell students that they should consider school as their workplace. Adults are often called upon to dress according to the occasion. Staying within the lenient guidelines of our dress code is the responsibility of our students along with the help of their parents. It’s good practice to know that certain occasions and situations call for certain types of dress. Please know that students who come to school in inappropriate clothing will be asked to wear a clean borrowed piece of clothing housed in our nursing office. Should students not comply with this, they will be sent home. Parent assistance in assuring neat, clean, appropriate attire is greatly appreciated. Should you or your child have any questions, please feel free to contact myself or Mr. Yergeau. Below, you will find a copy of our dress code for your convenience.Respectfully, Gigi Klipa, Assistant PrincipalDCS Dress PolicyIt is the responsibility of the students and parents that clothing worn to school functions must be neat and appropriate. All students are also expected to maintain a state of general cleanliness. Clothing, footwear and accessories must not have ornamentation that will damage furniture or floors, or will create an unsafe situation. Hats and sunglasses are not worn in the building.Students will not wear clothing that is deemed unsafe or disruptive to the learning environment or clothing that is offensive. This includes but is not limited to: tobacco products, alcohol, drugs or drug paraphernalia, pornography, violence, blood, gore, criminal acts, sexual connotations, racism, ethnic slurs, or slanderous statements. Sexual connotations could include nudity, genitalia, or focusing on women's breasts. Areas of violence could include pictures of body piercing, mutilations, threatening statements alluding to violence, guns or other weapons. Examples of inappropriate clothing are shorts, pants and skirts which are worn below the waist exposing stomach and back. Spandex, excessively short shorts or skirts; tank tops (sleeveless shirts are acceptable), halter tops, tube tops, blouses or shirts which expose midriff or back.Dress or casual shorts are acceptable provided they are fingertip length or longer when arms are fully extended alongside the body. When a student's appearance is deemed unsafe, disruptive or offensive, the student will be required to return home and correct the problem if the situation cannot be rectified at school. Judgments related to unacceptable clothing shall be made by the administration only and these judgments are not subject to arbitration.Images of The Damage From Deerfield's Tornado Chris Carr 02.AUG.08 - published with permisson forumhome.org

On Thursday, May 24th, 2007students at DCS had an opportunity to listen to a presentation by author and illustrator, Paul O. Zelinsky. Paul traveled from his home in Brooklyn, New York to spend the day at our school. He gave three presentations for Grades K - 6. Zelinsky is recognized as "one of the most inventive and critically successful artists in the field".
In 1998 he received the Caldecott Medal for Rapunzel, as well as Caldecott Honors for Hansel and Gretel (1985), Rumpelstilskin (1987) and Swamp Angel (1995). We were excited about his visit because he has so much to share with students concerning writing and illustrating.
