Dress code for remote classes Yes or No |

| It includes no slippers. How are they going to see if students are wearing slippers, flip flops, or no shoes unless it is a remote PE class? |

| good luck defining pajamas. I'm sure parents are in a mood to cooperate |

| Our kids have to wear uniform shirts! I guess no pants, though. |

| That's crazy. I wear a shirt that looks fine on Zoom and sweatpants every day now. Who cares about what's not being seen? I can understand no sunglasses and hats, as that makes it harder for teachers to see if kids are paying attention and understanding the lesson s-- which is a difficult enough job over Zoom. But if my kid wants to wear pajamas (t-shirt type of top) and slippers, I'm not stopping them. |

| Yes good luck enforcing this.....seems silly to me to even care. |

+1 Are they really going to make kids stand up so they can see their pants? This seems like a bad idea. And then what if the kids says that the pants are sweatpants or yoga pants or joggers or whatever, and not pajamas pants? Is this really a debate they want to have? And shoes? Why does the kid have to wear shoes at all if they are in their own house? Personally, I make my kid get dressed in the morning. And I've heard of classes where the students decided at the outset that no one should wear pajamas, so it was a mutually agreed-upon class rule. But I can't see why a school wants to wade into that mess. |

| Ugh, I hope not (though it would be nice if the school would let us know!). I am sometimes fortunate if I can get my kid to wear clothes at all in the morning, and I already sense a heavy rebellion coming at me when we start trying to get on a schedule for Zoom school every morning. She's only five and you have to choose your battles. If I have to choose between eating breakfast and taking of pajamas, especially if its just to sit in front of a computer, I choose breakfast. |

| haha that's hilarious since some kids go to school in their pajamas. Perhaps they should focus on the curriculum more and less on "dress code." |

| Virtual learning is not a game. It is school and they should have the same routine they had when going to brick and mortar school. Also, one room should be the school room and only school products should be in this dedicated school room. |

This is what I would enforce:
1. They will wear a shirt. I don’t care if girls wear a bra. None of their shirts have anything printed on them that would violate the rules. 2. No distracting cleavage, hats, sunglasses, bandanas, etc. No sheer shirts. 3. Wear something over underwear, in case they need to stand up while the camera is on, but idc what it is (as long as it’s not sheer. 4. Idc if anything is on their feet, let alone what it is. |

I mean, I agree that kids shouldn't wear pajamas to school. But I don't care if they are wearing sweatpants, bare feet, or whatever. Just put something on so it's not obvious you rolled out of bed.
To the parent who doesn't want to fight their 5 year old, I'd say this is one to fight. Your kids needs to get dressed for school. At least a tshirt. Not hard. |

| Yeah, thank god that's not going on here. My kids will wear something on top and something on bottom. If my son decides to wear a dress, that's fine. If my daughter wants to wear a hat, that's fine. |
