Dress Code and Grooming

The District's dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption, and minimize safety hazards.  Students and parents may determine a student's personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following guidelines:

 

The District prohibits any clothing or grooming, that in the principal's judgment,  may reasonably be expected to cause disruption or interference with normal school operations.  The District prohibits pictures, emblems or writings that are lewd, offensive, vulgar or obscene.  Wind shorts,/cutoffs/biker shorts/boxer shorts are not proper school dress.

 

The Principal, in connection with the sponsor, coach, or other person in charge of an extracurricular activity, may regulate the dress and grooming of students who participate in the activity.

  • No clothing advertising drugs, alcohol, or tobacco or with profanity allowed.

  • No tank tops or spaghetti straps allowed.  Shirts must be "four fingers" in width on the shoulders.  Shirts must have the ability to be tucked in.

  • Dresses must come to the knee.  They must have appropriate straps.

  • Shorts, skorts, and skirts must come to the knee.

  • Caps or hats will not be allowed in the building.
