📢 Attention Foster Middle School Families!📢
As we gear up for the 2026–2027 school year, please take a moment to review our updated Dress Code guidelines. We want to make sure everyone is set up for success on day one!
Please note a few MAJOR UPDATES for this upcoming school year:
👟 Footwear:
All students must wear a full shoe with a *fully enclosed back*. Crocs, slides, flip-flops, house slippers, and Ugg slippers (including the Tasman and Tazz styles) are strictly prohibited.
🧥 Hoodies:
Students may wear any Foster or Lobo hoodie, but **hoods are strictly prohibited from being worn up inside the school building.**
📏 Bottoms Length:
All shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no more than 3" above the knee (a standard dollar bill oriented sideways can be used to easily verify this length).
⚠️ Accountability Notice:
Students will be held accountable for meeting dress code expectations daily. Failure to follow the dress code will result in disciplinary consequences.
Check out the full quick-reference guide and the Do's & Dont's visual charts below for all the details on daily uniform colors and weekly spirit days! ⬇️
