Appropriate and modest attire is expected at school. It is recognized that the school shares with parents a responsibility for teaching young people the appropriateness of dress. It is our belief that clothing contributes to attitudes and behavior; therefore, we expect:
- Students to come to school dressed for learning.
- Undergarments should not be showing under any circumstances. If clothing is not worn correctly, it must be corrected or parents will be contacted.
- No article of clothing should carry slogans that are in “poor taste”. This would include wording that is suggestive, violent, or vulgar in nature or that which reflects drugs or alcohol.
- Gang-related clothing or modes of dress are not permitted. No attire may be worn that does or is perceived to create a hostile learning environment.
- Students should wear shoes that are appropriate for physical education.
- Students may only wear hats and hoods outside the classroom and or school buildings. Exceptions will be considered on a case by case basis.
The school administration reserves the right to individually forbid a student from wearing any attire, logos, symbols, or insignias including excessive clothing color, that is determined to create a hostile environment or distracts from learning.
As fashion trends change, the dress code policy is subject to revision. Policy changes will be shared through school communication methods to staff, students, and parents.
