Revised Fenn Policies under COVID-19 Protocols
Revised Dress Code Policy For as long as Fenn is operating under the health and safety protocols required in the wake of COVID-19, the School’s dress code will be relaxed. This is largely due to the inaccessibility of locker rooms within which boys would change into clothing for sports, etc. during the school day. Fenn boys should expect to remain in the same outfit for the entire school day, and these outfits should enable them to move freely during sports and other physical activity. Casual and comfortable active wear such as t-shirts and sports or cotton shorts are welcome; however, inappropriate messages and/or slogans on t-shirts (and masks) are unacceptable. Fenn will rely on boys and families to make their best judgments as to the appropriateness of certain t-shirt designs. Fenn personnel will certainly address any issues if a boy comes to school in an outfit that is problematic and shouldn’t be worn again. Sleepwear of any type is also not allowed, which includes pajama pants popular with the age group of Fenn boys. Flip-flops, slides, and slippers are also unacceptable. Shoe wear should include sneakers or other casual styles that accommodate physical activity, and visible socks must be worn. The aim for all boys should be to come to school neat and clean, while embracing their own unique styles within the parameters described in this adjusted policy. And since active wear is allowed, boys will not be required to tuck in their shirts as Fenn policy normally dictates. Fenn personnel will alert boys and families to the School’s return to the formal dress code policy; until then, boys are permitted to wear a more casual style of dress. Please consult the Fenn Parent and Student Handbook for Fenn’s Formal Dress Policy to which the School will return once COVID-19 protocols are lifted.
