G. Individual campuses may select one day per week as a school spirit day. On that spirit day the staff<br />
may deviate from the <strong>Aldine</strong> Dress Code. It will be permissible to wear jeans, tennis shoes and<br />
approved collared shirts, which must have school colors and contain a school logo. Collarless tshirts<br />
are not permitted with spirit attire. Men must wear spirit shirts tucked in. Jeans should not be<br />
unduly faded. Jeans cannot be ripped or frayed. Pins and other accessories cannot be substituted for<br />
the school logo. If you choose not to participate in school spirit day, regular school attire must be<br />
worn.<br />

VII. CLASS INTERRUPTIONS<br />

that take students from other teachers' classes is to be tightly controlled by the principal.<br />
B. Any teacher desiring to take students from class for any activity must arrange through the principal's<br />
office for such absence in advance, so that other teachers affected may plan their work, arrange for<br />
students to make up work, and properly account for the student's absence.<br />
C. <strong>Teacher</strong>s are not to use class time to talk with salesmen, parents, or other non-school persons. If it<br />
