🎒✨As we work together to maintain a safe, respectful, and distraction-free learning environment at Umatilla High School, we ask that parents and guardians partner with us each morning. Before your student heads out the door, please take a quick moment to help them review our school dress expectations.

You can use the quick Check yourself before you head out... checklist right from our policy guide:
✅ Does my shirt fully cover my chest and stomach? (No crop tops or exposed midriffs)
✅ Are my shorts, skirts, or dresses at least mid-thigh?
✅ Are my shoulders covered appropriately? (Shoulder straps must be at least 4 fingers wide; no strapless or spaghetti straps)
✅ Are my pants worn at the waist? (No sagging or visible underwear)
✅ Does my outfit avoid inappropriate images or messages?
✅ Is my hood down and my hat off at school? (Hoods and hats/caps are not allowed inside classroom buildings)

If your student can answer YES to all of these questions, they are good to go! Thank you for your diligence and continued support in helping our students represent Umatilla with pride! 🧡🖤
