Good Afternoon Parents/Guardians

I would like to bring attention to our district's dress code. Our dress code is built on the philosophy that a safe and respectful school environment is a more effective learning environment. Our goal is to ensure all students can focus on their education without unnecessary distractions or disruptions.

Our policy is designed to be fair, simple, and supportive of all our students. We believe a thoughtful dress code is about fostering community pride and preparing students for future professional expectations, not about policing student choices.

Please take a moment to review the attached dress code policy, which can also be found in the Student Handbook located on our district website at: chester.k12.sc.us.
