Students are expected to dress appropriately for school. This might be described as neat, clean and modest dress. Students should take into consideration classes where safety measures are required for dress, such as science, physical education and art classes.
General standards of appropriate dress include but are not limited to, the following:
- Shoes or sandals must be worn for obvious hygiene and safety reasons.
- Unacceptable dress includes clothing that is transparent or revealing.
- Clothing that advertises alcoholic beverages, tobacco or drugs is unacceptable.
- Clothing that uses vulgar, offensive or obscene language, designs or messages or gang symbols is unacceptable.
- Students may not sag their pants.
- Clothes must be worn in the manner that the manufacturer intended.
- Sunglasses are only to be worn outside.
These standards apply in school District buildings, on school grounds, in school vehicles, on school District property, and at school-sponsored activities.
Disciplinary action for violation of dress standards may include requiring the student to remove or change the grooming/apparel, referral to administration, parental conference or suspension.
