Dress Code
NEW COVID-19 Information fo 2021-22 School Year:
OCMS will return to normal school without a mask requirement. However, masks are optional and will be the student's and parents' responsibilities.
Whichever option is selected, studies show that consistency is key to student achievement, and we believe maintaining a proper dress code for both on-campus and online learning, helps students feel united and part of the school family they belong to. With that said, students who attend OCMS are required to follow the same dress code requirements for both on-campus and online classrooms.
This will also eliminate any discrepancies students could feel should one group be required to wear uniforms and the other group not. Plus, online students will be expected to attend all scheduled classes as if they were on-campus, and wearing the school uniform will help establish the learning environment they deserve, despite working from home.
Uniform Tops may be purchased in the front office during regular business hours.
Ocali Charter Middle School believes every child should have a positive and productive learning environment, without distraction from the latest styles, trends, or designs of clothing.
Furthermore, in an effort to curb negativity, bullying, or feelings of insecurity due to clothing issues, we have adopted a specific school dress code that will help foster a learning environment, free from clothing-related issues.
All students are required to wear the official dress uniform of the school, during school hours, or they may wear our spirit wear T-shirts with logo, ONLY on specific days when permitted by the Principal.
The only area of flexibility with our uniform is with shoes, in which students are required to wear sneakers or tennis shoes (with socks) as outlined in our dress code.
All uniforms must be CLEAN and neat when worn.
Violation of this dress code will result in students being sent home or possibly in-school suspension.
