Students who are violating the Pasco Schools dress code will be required to change into clothes that do meet the expectations. If they do not have access to appropriate attire on campus, they will wait in the In-School-Suspension room until clothes can be brought to them at school.

Pasco Schools Expectation for all Middle Schools:

Students are to keep their Wireless Communication Devices (WCD*) put away and out of sight and silent before, during, and after the school day while in the classroom, hallways, and cafeteria unless directed by a teacher to use them for instructional uses.

Why does this expectation exist?

We want kids to be fully engaged during the school day. Schools are designed to be places of safety, learning, and building skills for success in college, careers, and life. The Pasco School Board has determined that the best way to achieve these goals is to remove access to WCD and refocus students on the task of tasks of learning.

What happens if a student violates these expectations?

1. First Violation: Warning and teacher communication home through myStudent.
2. Second Violation: Discipline Referral and a meeting with family to address ongoing concern and check in of wireless communication device** with a recommendation of Lunch Detention.
3. Third Violation: Discipline Referral and a meeting with family to address ongoing concern and loss of wireless communication device ***with a recommendation of Saturday School.
4. Fourth Violation: Discipline Referral and a meeting with family to address ongoing concern and loss of wireless communication device**** with a recommendation of In School Suspension.
