Principal Mark Smith, Wilson High School

Dear Mr. and Mrs. Presley,

I hope this letter finds you well. I am writing to inform you about a recent decision made by the school board regarding the modification of our school dress code. Effective immediately, students will have the option to exercise clothing freedom within certain guidelines.

The school board has carefully considered the needs and preferences of our students, while also ensuring a safe and conducive learning environment. As a result, they have agreed to allow students to attend school without the requirement of covering their bodies. This means that your daughter, Kelly Presley, will no longer be obliged to wear traditional clothing while attending school.

It is important to note that this clothing-optional policy comes with specific guidelines and expectations to maintain a respectful and inclusive atmosphere for all students. These guidelines include:

Respect for personal boundaries: Students must understand and respect each other's boundaries and consent. Inappropriate or disrespectful behavior will not be tolerated.

Privacy and sensitivity: The school will provide designated private changing areas and locker rooms for students who prefer privacy. Sensitivity towards individual preferences and comfort levels will be emphasized.

Hygiene and cleanliness: Students are expected to maintain appropriate standards of hygiene and cleanliness. Bathing regularly and wearing appropriate footwear are important aspects to consider.

Non-discrimination: Students should refrain from making judgments based on individual clothing choices. Discrimination or bullying related to clothing, or lack thereof, will not be tolerated.

I understand that this change may raise questions or concerns. To address any queries you may have, we will be hosting a parent meeting on [date] at [time] in the school auditorium. This meeting will provide an opportunity to discuss the policy further, address concerns, and ensure a smooth transition for all students.

I want to assure you that the well-being and safety of our students remain our top priority. We have taken several measures to ensure a secure and comfortable environment, including increased staff presence, enhanced supervision, and ongoing communication with students about appropriate behavior.

Please feel free to reach out to me directly or contact our school office if you require any additional information or have specific concerns regarding this policy change. We value your partnership and are committed to providing a supportive and inclusive educational environment for all students.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Sincerely,

Mark Smith, Principal Wilson High School
