Dress Code For Parents At School
A principal wrote a note to parents to ask them to please “take the time to get dressed” in the morning and stop doing drop off in their pajamas.
According to Scary Mommy, Kate Chisholm, headteacher at Skerne Park Academy, Darlington, wrote to all parents asking them to “dress appropriately” in day wear. “I have noticed there has been an increasing tendency for parents to escort children to and from school while still wearing their pajamas and, on occasion slippers, could I please ask that when you are escorting your children, you take the time to dress appropriately in day wear that is suitable for the weather conditions?" She also goes on to say the community thinks it is about time something is done.
Here on the Southcoast, several of my teacher friends and family agree that when they see a parent dropping their kids off at school wearing flannel pajamas, sliipers and sometimes just socks, it sends a negative message and causes the faculty and staff to form negative opinions.
