DRESS CODE

It is the responsibility of the board to provide an educational atmosphere conducive to learning. With this responsibility in mind, the board adopts a dress code that meets the following criteria.

• Adheres to applicable legal standards
• Is appropriate from preschool through twelfth year of school
• Promotes an educational atmosphere conducive to learning

The basic responsibility for the appearance of students rests with the parents and the students themselves.

Parents have the obligation and, within certain prescribed bounds, the right to determine their children’s dress; however, they must follow these guidelines.

• Attire that could pose a safety threat or could be destructive to school property is not allowed.
• Dress that could cause distractions or interference with the educational process or the rights of others is not allowed.
• For health reasons, shoes must be worn. No bedroom shoes or shoes with wheels allowed.
• Only tops designed to be worn outside of pants or skirts may be worn in that manner. Pajamas, lingerie and items designed to be worn as sleepwear or underclothing may not be worn alone or over other clothing.
• Headwear, sunglasses, hair rollers, bandannas, picks/combs, etc. are prohibited inside school buildings.
• Bare midriffs, see-through garments, clinging and revealing materials, white under-garment-type T-shirts, bare backs, halter tops, low-cut blouses and pants, and tank tops are prohibited.
• Obscene, suggestive, inflammatory, racial, profane and inappropriate writing or language on clothing or jewelry, as well as provocative pictures and advertisement of drugs and alcohol on clothing or jewelry is prohibited.
• Extraneous articles hanging from clothing, jewelry or personal belongings, such as chains, are not permitted.
• Clothing or other articles that indicate membership in a gang are prohibited.
• Shorts, mini-skirts and culotte-type clothing are allowed with the following restrictions.
• When the student stands straight and the garment is worn at the natural waistline, the garment must be no shorter than where the student’s longest fingertip rests when arms fall naturally by his/her side.
• The garment may not be made of clinging or form-fitting materials, such as but not limited to, biker shorts and pants, surfer pants, etc.
• Oversized garments are prohibited.

The administration may make an exception to these guidelines for medical or religious requirements where appropriate documentation of the requirement is provided by a parent or guardian. At the request of a teacher, the administration may impose different requirements in situations where health and safety issues could arise, such as in science labs.

The administration reserves the right to make a final determination regarding the appropriateness of any attire. If, in the judgment of the administration, a student’s attire is inappropriate for the school environment, parents will be contacted. Parents may bring appropriate clothing to school for the student to change into or the student will be sent home to change into appropriate attire.
