COOPERATIVE
BUSINESS EDUCATION
Dress
and grooming affects the impression you make on others, but also affects a
person’s self-confidence and job performance as well. A Cooperative Business Education student has
the responsibility to project a positive, businesslike image for oneself, the
employer, and
Dress for female Cooperative Business
Education students should be dresses, skirts and blouses, dress slacks, sweaters,
dressy capris, and appropriate business shoes. All shirts will be tucked in and no skin will
be showing. Sundresses, strapped tops, T-shirts of any kind, shirts with
slogans and advertising, and clothing with revealing necklines and hemlines will
not be worn. Do not wear athletic shoes,
flip flops, or thong sandals to work.
Dress for male Cooperative Business
Education students should be a collared shirt (knit or button front), slacks,
and appropriate shoes. All shirts will
be tucked in. T-shirts of any kind
or shirts with slogans and advertising will not be worn. Do not wear athletic shoes, flip flops, or
sandals to work. Unless it is a safety
requirement, NO hats will be worn on the job.
Good
grooming requires keeping your body and clothing clean. Hands and nails should be neat and
clean. Hair must be shampooed frequently
and styled in a manner that does not interfere with your work. Using deodorant and brushing your teeth on a
daily basis is a must. Perfume and
cologne should be used sparingly. If you have a question about your dress or
appearance, you probably need to choose the more conservative approach.
The
student must adhere to any reasonable request or established policy of the
employer. Any dismissal from employment
because of inappropriate dress/grooming will result in dismissal from the Business
Coop program.
1.
No
jeans—unless your supervisor has specifically said that they are required or
acceptable for a specific day. Some
places of business have “dress down” days—mostly on Friday—when jeans are
permitted.
2.
All
shirts and blouses will be tucked in.
Sweaters and over-blouses (those with a band) should hang below the belt
line. No T-shirts, sweatpants, or
sweatshirts will be worn. Absolutely no
“hip huggers” will be worn.
3.
No
caps or hats will be worn on the job. At
Rayonier, no caps will be worn beyond the front gate. The only hat permitted on any job is a hard
hat if you enter an area where this is required.
4.
All
dresses/skirts will be knee length at least.
5.
Athletic
shoes are not acceptable business dress.
Flip flops are not allowed.
6.
No
facial jewelry of any type is permitted.
Students have available a changing room in “C
Wing” if they wish to use it. No student
will be dismissed to leave for work if dress is inappropriate for work.
Failure to adhere
to the dress code for employment will result in a point deduction on the work
ethics grade (as noted on syllabus) for each offense. The Penalties section on the Policies
agreement will also be enforced and is given below:
The first occurrence of any offense
(regarding attendance, absences, dress code, school discipline matters, etc.)
will result in a verbal warning by the coordinator. The second occurrence of the same or similar
offense will result in a parent/student/coordinator conference. This conference must take place within 5
school days of the offense or the student will remain at school 5th
and/or 6th period until the conference occurs. The third occurrence of the same or similar
offense will result in a five-day suspension of student checkout
privileges. The student will remain at
school 5th and/or 6th period(s) and the coordinator will
notify the parent. After the third
occurrence, student’s checkout privileges may be revoked for the remainder of
the semester if the offenses are habitual in nature and no improvement by the
student has been observed by the coordinator.
As a Cooperative Business Education
student, I have read the dress code and understand my responsibilities to
adhere to the dress code regulations.
