School Dress Code
Hampstead Elementary School
Hampstead School has adopted a dress code for its students. The purpose of having a dress code for our children is to instill in them a sense of belonging and identity. A dress code is conducive to good behaviour and reflects the serious mission of our school. It fosters a positive educational atmosphere that promotes success. We ask for parents’ full cooperation in ensuring students adhere to the Hampstead School dress code policy.
Parents will be contacted should students be deemed to not be following the dress code or dressed inappropriately. Should it continue, students may not be allowed in class and may be sent to the office, where they may be asked to change, wait for a parent or guardian to deliver appropriate clothing, or sent home (picked up by a parent/guardian) to change.

Dress Code for Physical Education
On days when students have Physical Education (gym), they are expected to dress appropriately for activity (short sleeves). For safety reasons, students must be in proper footwear and may not be allowed to participate should they not be.
Dress Code for Outdoors
Hampstead School believes that education happens inside and outside the school building. As such, students will be outdoors throughout the school day: before school, at recess, at lunch, and periodically for Phys Ed. Students who are well enough to attend school are expected to go outside for outdoor play. Students may be outside for up to 40 minutes at a time, and must be dressed appropriately for the weather, including very cold days in the middle of winter and hot and sunny days.
