Compliance / Non-Compliance

Schools may wish to consider holding “Spirit/Theme Days” or “Civvies Days” to promote compliance with the Dress Code expectations. Such initiatives will be developed at the local level by the Principal in consultation with the school staff and the Catholic School Council. If any funds are collected through these initiatives, they shall be used to support Social Justice causes.

Examples of a progressive discipline approach for non-compliance include but are not limited to:

• Verbal reminders of expectations
• Communication with parent / guardian
• Written notification to parent / guardian by the Principal or designate outlining the Dress Code expectations

Any action taken to implement the requirements of this Policy, including the application of supports and consequences to students, must be consistent with the YCDSB Safe Schools (Student Discipline) Policy 202.

No elementary school student shall be suspended / expelled for non-compliance with this policy.
