DRESS CODE

Certain styles of dress and grooming are not considered appropriate for public school. In making the determination for appropriate school dress, the administration considers three important areas: modesty, cleanliness and safety. Examples of inappropriate student attire include, but are not limited to, the following:

Shirts, blouses, dresses, etc., with bare backs or that display a bare midriff; inappropriately short skirts and shorts - must reach fingertips; bike shorts or inappropriately tight skirts or pants; net shirts; shirts with inappropriate wording, messages or pictures; tanktops/sleeveless shirts; undergarments worn as outergarments; hats worn in the building; sunglasses.  For students safety, all footwear should cover the entire foot and all laced shoes must be tied securely.  Shoes that contain a roller skate are not permitted.

When the administration has determined that a student is inappropriately dressed, that student will be given the opportunity to change into appropriate attire if it is available. If appropriate attire is not available, the student will be removed from class and the parents notified. This action could result in an absence of school for the day. Continued violations may also result in further disciplinary action.
