From: Doe, John Date: Tue, 19 April 2016To: All EmployeesSubject: Dress Code Policy
With the warmer weather approaching it’s a good time to remind employees about our dress code.
All employees and contractors should dress appropriately for a professional work environment, whether they choose to wear traditional business (i.e. suit & tie) or business casual attire (Dockers and golf shirt). Full compliance is expected
As a reminder, appropriate dress includes
- Slacks or khaki-style pants - Collared or dress shirts - Sport jackets or blazers - Casual Skirts (knee length)- Dress Shoes - Jeans (permitted on Friday’s)

Contextualization Strategies: Math
After tracking the time it takes you to get ready in the morning, you have determined it takes you
- 5 minutes to shower- 10 minutes to get dressed/get ready- 20 minutes to prepare and eat breakfast- 2 minutes to brush your teeth
If it takes you 25 minutes to drive to work and you need to arrive at work by 8:30 AM, what is the latest you can possibly get up?
