Dress Policy
Local schools are granted the authority to establish school-based dress and grooming standards consistent with District policy. Students are not allowed to wear any items to school that may be deemed inappropriate, unsafe, or disruptive to the educational process.
- Pants or shorts must be the proper size (not too small or too large), fitting securely at the waist above the hipbone.
- Shorts must be below the fingertips when hands are held at the side.
- Closed-toe shoes must be worn at all times. Unsafe shoes are not allowed. Shoes must be appropriate for daily physical activity.
- Dangling earrings are dangerous and are not appropriate school attire.
- Clothing that contains offensive or obscene symbols that promote alcohol, tobacco, drugs, gangs, tagging, violence, or that degrade any gender, cultural or ethical values are not permitted at school.
- Any article of clothing that does not cover the mid-section or undergarments or shows bare shoulders is not appropriate for school. Examples include bathing suits, tube tops, tops with spaghetti straps (less than 2 fingers wide), racer back tank tops.
- Make-up, unnatural hair colors or extreme hairstyles are not allowed at school.
- Hats may be worn outside for sun protection but should not be worn indoors.
Staff members monitor our school dress policy. Parents will be contacted when students violate our dress policy. Inappropriately dressed students will phone parents for a change of clothes. Sometimes the health office may have items that students can wear. Appropriate disciplinary action will be taken for students who repeatedly disregard dress code standards.
