Good afternoon LMS Families,
As we begin the school year, we would like to provide a friendly reminder regarding the Lowndes County Schools and Lowndes Middle School dress code expectations. Our goal is to maintain a learning environment that is comfortable, appropriate, and focused on student success.
Please pay particular attention to the following dress code requirements:
When leggings or other form-fitting bottoms are worn, the shirt or top must be long enough to completely cover the buttocks in the back and provide appropriate coverage in the front. Therefore, shirts should remain untucked in the front when worn with leggings to ensure the required coverage is maintained. Appropriate coverage must be maintained while the student is standing, sitting, walking, or participating in normal school activities.
Shorts worn by both male and female students must be an appropriate length and may be no shorter than three inches above the knee.
We appreciate your help in reviewing these expectations with your student before they arrive at school each day. Addressing dress code concerns at home helps minimize disruptions to instructional time and ensures students are prepared for a successful school day.
Thank you for your continued support and partnership in helping us maintain a positive learning environment at Lowndes Middle School.
Vacation mode: ON. Reading mode: ALSO ON. Calling all future LMS Vikings! If you’re attending LMS next year, the Summer Reading Challenge is for you.
