Dress Code
Due to frequent changes in fashion, it is impossible to specifically describe all clothing styles that might be considered unacceptable to wear to school. Students should be dressed and groomed in a manner that is clean, neat, and appropriate for the school setting. Students are prohibited from wearing the following items:
- Brief, see-through, or extremely tight-fitting garments including, but not limited to: tube tops, halter-tops, and tank tops with less than one-inch (1”) straps and/or that reveal undergarments.
- Torn or altered clothing that is revealing or suggestive.
- Visible undergarments.
- Backpacks and large fanny/hip packs are not to be worn throughout the school day unless a medical excuse is on file with the nurse.
- Head coverings, other than those that are for religious purposes, are not allowed to be worn inside the building. Hats, bandanas, sunglasses, hoods or outside jackets are prohibited.
- Apparel or accessories that display any of the following:
- Obscene words, threatening pictures or designs, sexually explicit or suggestive remarks, promotion of alcohol, tobacco, drugs and/or weapons.
- Items that are vulgar, obscene, libelous, or denigrate others based on race, color, creed, religion, gender, sexual orientation, national origin, political affiliate, age, military status, or disability are prohibited.
Students are also required by state and local health regulations to wear footwear.
Students wearing clothing that is not in compliance with the student dress code will be offered an opportunity to change their clothes into something more appropriate. Any student who refuses this opportunity, or who violates the school dress code on more than one occasion may be considered insubordinate, and be assigned an appropriate consequence.
