The Galion City School District has implemented a Campus Wear Policy effective for the 2008-09 school year for students in grades 3-12. (The rest of the page remains the same).

Campus Wear provides a professional approach to learning and removes some of the distractions normally confronted when young people face the dilemma of possessing the latest designer fashions. Considering that fashions change from year to year and season to season, parents often feel pressure from their children to provide them with the most current styles. Campus Wear reduces the cost of “keeping up” since it remains the same day after day, year after year. The cost, in relation to fashion merchandise, is very appealing over the long term.

Experience has shown that students required to maintain a neat appearance and to coordinate their wardrobe within established parameters are more likely to carry over these habits to the performance of their schoolwork. Campus Wear is a positive method for establishing good habits and promoting a climate for discipline and responsibility.

There are five major reasons for the change to Campus Wear:
1. Improve relations by decreasing the conflicts over clothing between students, staff and parents.
2. Promote a more serious atmosphere for learning as we increase our focus on academic objectives.
3. Promote campus safety and security through quick identification of students and visitors.
4. Promote a sense of school spirit, acceptance, and belonging in the Galion Schools.
5. Promote the real individuality of the students as seen in their gifts and abilities, not in their appearance.
