MRHS Key Policy Review
During Grade Level Assemblies the first week of school, we have covered our school dress code, key aspects of the
UCPS Student Code of Conduct, attendance/tardy information and more. All students were asked to sign a form that
they understood the policies as reviewed and taught by class period teachers. In the scrolling announcements section of
our website, we have included links to both our Marvin Ridge High School Student Handbook, and the Union County
Public Schools Student-Parent Handbook for 2014-15.
For quick reference, the Dress Code and Cell Phone policies are listed below. We wanted you to be aware of the content
of these policies as we will be enforcing consequences. One item that has been added to the Dress Code is highlighted for
your reference.
Marvin Ridge High School Dress Code If a student’s dress or appearance is so unusual, inappropriate or disruptive to the learning environment, the student will
be required to change the offending dress or appearance. Clothing that attracts undue attention to the body’s form or con-
tour is inappropriate for school. Students are responsible for exercising good judgment in dress and grooming. Students
who violate the Dress Code will report with a written pass to the front office; repeated offenses will be recorded and con-
sequences will be issued. Every effort will be made to handle dress code issues within the first period class. Guidelines
for high school dress include but are not limited to the following criteria:
Shorts, skirts, dresses, etc. must extend to a student’s fingertips when the student is standing up straight. No holes are
allowed above the fingertip length.
Shirts, sweatshirts, blouses, or shorts that are worn with leggings, spandex pants, or yoga pants must extend
to a student’s fingertips when the student is standing up straight.
Shirts must cover the torso (including the stomach, back, and cleavage) and straps must be at least 3 inches or 3 fin-
gers wide.
No mesh or racer-back tops, see-through material, cut-off shirts, halters, skintight clothes, or clothing of any type
that exposes the torso, profane words, drug or alcohol advertising, sexual innuendoes, or other unacceptable graphics.
Students must wear shoes (no bedroom slippers).
“Drag and sag” pants violate dress code.
No gang related clothing, paraphernalia or gang related tattoos.
Visible undergarments are prohibited at all times.
No hats worn inside the building. No pajamas (including pajama pants), hats, or sunglasses (unless medically needed) are allowed in school. *The administration reserves the right to set additional dress code rules on an individual basis if the student’s clothing is
disruptive to the school environment.
Cell Phones (Per Union County Public Schools Policy)
Except pursuant to an authorized instructional purpose and as an instructional tool under the guidance and direction of a
staff member during a school activity, students will not use cellular phones, CD players, iPods, MP3 players, headphones
and DVD players on campus from the first bell of the day through the last dismissal bell. Except as identified above, cell
phones must be turned off and out of sight (in book bag, pocket, or purse) at all times. Use of a cell phone is defined to
include, but is not limited to phone ringing,
talking on phone, taking pictures, browsing, gaming and text messaging. These items may be kept on campus in a locked
vehicle without violating school policy. School is not responsible for loss or damage of any kind to the above named
items.
First Offense: Confiscate items and return only to parents after the school day ends. If use of cell phone results in
violation of other policies, including, but not limited to school based rules, further discipline may be applied. Second Offense: Parent conference required and may include 1 day of In-School Suspension, After School Deten-
tion, or Saturday School. Third Offense: Parent conference required and may include 1 day of In-School Suspension, After School Detention,
or Saturday School. The student cannot bring the item to school for the remainder of the school year, except as au-
thorized in writing by the school principal.
** PHONES WILL ONLY BE RETURNED TO PARENTS AFTER THE SCHOOL DAY ENDS.**
