Dress Code

Grover C. Fields Middle School believes that the dress and personal appearance of students greatly affect their academic performance and their interaction with other students. We expect that parents outfit their children in clothing that is conducive to learning.

Students are reminded of the Craven County Schools dress code. Students must wear their pants at their waist and no undergarments should be shown. Students are not to wear hats or any kind of full head covering in the school buildings. Clothing with derogatory, mature or inappropriate messages, including gang affiliations, are prohibited.

Referred students will be sent to chill-out. If students do not have the necessary clothing to comply with the dress code, they will be allowed to use the telephone to call home for proper clothing. Students who are able to obtain the necessary clothing to comply with the dress code may return to class. Students who cannot obtain clothing to comply with the dress code will spend the remainder of the day in the ISS room. 

Please refer to the Craven County Schools Student Handbook for more specific dress and appearance expectations.
