“Dress gives one the outward sign from which people can judge the inward state of mind. One they can see, the other they cannot.” – Queen Elizabeth II of England
Clearly, this says what many people are reluctant to accept; that people judge us by the way we dress. In all situations, academic and recreational, our outward appearance sends a message. The way we present ourselves is a reflection of who we are and what we do. Here at TWAI we are striving for personal excellence, and our dress code allows students to show on the outside what we are striving to achieve on the inside.
Please remember that these items are appropriate only during physical conditioning and work projects.
This list recommends quantities of clothing for students attending Turning Winds. Please be sure to refer to the Student Dress Code for appropriate styles and design of individual clothing items.
Students are subject to searches of their persons and belongings upon entering or leaving the Turning Winds campus and whenever there is reasonable grounds for suspicion the student may possess any form of contraband.
Searches are conducted with the goal of being minimally invasive and respecting basic dignity and privacy rights. Personal possessions are inventoried upon entering or leaving the campus. We provide storage for personal belongings that are more appropriately stored away rather than kept easily accessible to students.
Contraband is anything that is brought onto the Turning Winds campus that is not specifically allowed and does not reflect the values, expectations, or beliefs of Turning Winds. All contraband will be thrown away or placed in the student’s storage.
At the time of the student’s departure, it is the student’s and parents’ responsibility to pack up and get the student’s items home. In the event that a student is sent home unexpectedly, parents should arrange to have the student’s items sent home within two weeks. Money to cover all shipping costs must be forwarded to Turning Winds prior to items being shipped.
It is recommended that all valuables be kept at home and not sent with the child. Turning Winds is not responsible for keeping track of student’s belongings. Students have the sole responsibility for keeping track of their belongings. Therefore, it is recommended that students not be sent up with expensive clothing or anything valuable that could get lost.
