School Dress Code:
Dress Code - Expectations for Student Dress
The district’s dress code is established to promote appropriate grooming and hygiene, prevent disruptions, and avoid safety hazards. Dress and grooming should never interfere with anyone’s right to learn and teach in a safe and professional environment.
-
Anything worn on the head must not obscure the face unless worn for religious or medical reasons.
-
Clothing should not reference violence, illegal activity, or discrimination.
-
Pants/skirts/shorts should be secure on or above hip bones.
-
Shirts and dresses must have fabric in the front and on the sides (under the arms).
-
Clothing must cover undergarments (waistbands and straps excluded).
Tops and bottoms that fall within the above criteria are required at all times.
In addition, students are required to wear footwear at all times. In some classes, such as technology, science, and physical education, particular types (not brands) of footwear may be required for safety reasons. Footwear that is a safety hazard or has the potential to damage property will not be allowed, i.e., cleats, shoes with spikes on the soles in school hallways or classrooms.
Exceptions to this policy may be made for some types of school activities as approved by the administration. Students will remove hats during the Pledge of Allegiance and the National Anthem as a gesture of courtesy. Students who represent the school in a voluntary activity may be required to meet additional dress and grooming standards approved by the building principal and may be denied the opportunity to participate if those standards are not met.
