DRESS CODE POLICY
The unified dress code policy of Paducah Middle School and Paducah Tilghman is designed to create a safe, non-distracting learning environment that will allow the students some flexibility in expressing themselves. Students whose appearance does not conform to the dress code policy will be asked to change clothing to meet this code.
If a staff member suspects that a student is in violation of the code, the student will be sent to Tornado STAR/Family Resource to change and then return to class. Students WILL NOT BE ALLOWED to phone their parents for a change of clothing. The decision of the school administrator shall be final. PM dress code policy includes, but is not limited to the following:
• Keep your head clear: No hoods on head, hats, picks, combs, curlers, cat ears, head wraps/doo rags, sunglasses, tiaras, wave caps, nor bandanas. Head coverings will be confiscated and returned to the student at the end of the school day. (Exceptions given for religious or medical reasons)
• With arms held at one’s side, no flesh nor undergarments should be visible at any time between the area of the thumb and the armpit. This includes but is not limited to…
o Holes in pants that reveal flesh or undergarments.
o Undergarments shown when “sagging”
o Cleavage
o Midriff
• Pajama attire is not permitted – this includes pajamas pants, slippers, house shoes, etc.
• Blankets are not permitted.
• Tank-tops must completely cover undergarments and must not reveal flesh at armpit level or below.
• Decals, slogans, pictures, or sayings that are rude, vulgar and obscene, advertise alcohol or alcoholic beverages or promote illegal drugs or are overtly racially or sexually suggestive/offensive or reference illegal or immoral behavior are not allowed.
• Leggings, yoga pants, biker shorts, or tights must be worn with a skirt, dress or tunic that is at least midthigh length.
• School administration reserves the right to make dress code decisions/limit specific items at their professional discretion.
Failing to adhere to the dress code will incur a minor behavior infraction and follow school rules regarding minor/major infractions.
Tornado Family,
We want to let you know that start and end times for some of our schools will change in the 2023-24 school year. We believe these changes will contribute to the well-being of our students and help our bus routes move more efficiently.
The longer school day at Paducah Middle School will allow us to offer seven academic periods instead of six. This will help prepare our students for high school. It will also allow additional elective opportunities so students who want to take band, choir and orchestra will be able to take all three classes.
We understand that even small changes to our school schedules deeply impact our community and particularly our families who are juggling multiple work, school and family members’ schedules. We’re grateful for your patience as we implement these schedule changes.
Look for more details from your school principal before school starts. We look forward to seeing you August 9!
For each and every child,
Dr. Donald Shively
Superintendent, Paducah Public Schools
Here's a copy of the 23-24 School year calendar for parents and students. We're looking forward to seeing you August 9!
