Uniform Policy

Deltona Elementary School’s faculty, staff, and School Advisory Council believe that school uniforms promote a more productive and positive learning environment. Research indicates that school uniforms provide many of the following benefits: ~A safe school environment ~ A sense of pride and school unity~ A more focused learning environment ~ decrease in peer pressure and bullying among students.

Tops

• Solid colored short or long sleeve polo style with or without DES logo and properly fitted.
• Sweatshirts or sweaters may be worn over the polo shirt; adhering to the school board policy.

Bottoms 

• Uniform pants must be solid navy blue, khaki, black, or gray.
• Solid colored uniform pants, shorts, and capris in the above stated colors are acceptable.
• Girls may also wear skorts or jumpers in navy blue, khaki, black, or gray.
• Shorts, skorts & jumpers are to fit appropriately & no shorter than 4” above knee.
• Leggings may be worn under uniform bottoms; adhering to the school board policy. 
• Shoes must have closed back and toe. Due to safety concerns, Crocs are prohibited.
• Sneakers or tennis shoes are required on P.E. days. Non-Compliance Consequences: 1st time out of uniform ~ Verbal warning, written notification sent home to parent 2nd time out of uniform ~ Phone call home to parent to bring a uniform to the school. 3rd time out of uniform ~ Parent will be notified of the violation and student will receive ISS. Uniforms must be worn at all times including all Field Trips, Award Ceremonies, and School Pictures!

At Deltona Elementary, our goal is to partner with families to ensure all students are dressed appropriately for a safe and productive learning environment.

If a student is not in compliance with the school dress code, the following steps may occur:

1. Conference with the Student – A staff member will speak privately with the student to review the dress code expectations and provide guidance.
2. Parent/Guardian Notification – A phone call may be made to the parent or guardian to discuss the concern and request support in addressing the issue.
3. Change of Clothing – If necessary, a parent or guardian may be asked to bring appropriate clothing for the student.

We understand that situations arise, and we are committed to working collaboratively with families. Should you need assistance obtaining appropriate school clothing, please let us know. Our school is here to help and support our students and families.

Thank you for partnering with us to maintain a safe, respectful, and focused learning environment for all Deltona Dragons.
