Student Dress Code
A student's appearance should not distract classmates from the important task of learning.
Because a relationship between one's appearance and behavior does exist and because an
appropriately dressed student is better accepted by his/her peers, attire for students must be
reasonable, modest, and in such style that it will not cause distraction.
- Skirt, dress and shorts hemlines should be no shorter than the tip of the longest finger with the hand hanging at the student's side.
- The student's torso, chest, or undergarments should not show at any time even while sitting, bending or leaning. Sleeveless blouses must cover at least two (2) inches of each shoulder.
Necklines should be modest and appropriate. - Safety and sanitation dictate that students wear appropriate footwear. No house shoes are
allowed. - Mesh shirts, midriffs, halters, low riders, tank tops, clothes with holes or tears and other similar attire are inappropriate for school wear and will not be permitted.
- Clothing displaying disruptive or suggestive lettering and/or symbols is considered
inappropriate and will not be permitted. Items advertising alcoholic beverages or drug and
tobacco products will not be permitted. - Hair, mustaches, beards, and make-up must be reasonable, modest, and clean. Extreme
hairstyles and colors which are not a natural hair color and/or distract or disrupt the learning environment will not be permitted. - Hats, scarves, bandanas, and sunglasses are not to be worn inside the buildings at anytime.
Hoods on sweatshirts or sweaters may not be worn over the head inside the buildings at anytime. - Only uniforms that conform to the above guidelines may be worn during the school day.
- All students participating in school activities will comply with the dress and appearance
regulations of activities to which they belong and participate. - Any gang-related behavior, body adornment, tattoos, or clothing is prohibited; this includes, but is not limited to, "sagging," bandannas, wearing gang/set colors, written symbols, or gestures that reflect gang affiliation.
- Body piercing jewelry/ornamentation of any kind, other than that worn on the ears, is not
permitted. - A teacher and/or administrator shall have the authority to determine the appropriateness of
any attire. In making such a determination, the teacher and/or administrator should be governed by whether the attire is offensive, disruptive, or distracting to the educational environment.
