Appropriate Dress- Dress Code
Appropriate Dress
Neatness of appearance of all students is encouraged. There is a relationship between personal appearance and conduct. Clothing
must also be appropriate for activity, therefore, long skirts which hinder motion and which are a safety hazard should not be worn, nor
should certain sandals, thongs (flip flops), and platform shoes be permitted. Halter tops and cleated athletic shoes are not acceptable
for school wear. Sunglasses (unless prescription), hats, and other types of outdoor clothing are to be removed while the student is in
the building.
Dress Code
Another measure to maintain a safe, orderly learning climate for our students is a dress code. This code provides guidelines for
students to follow in dressing appropriately for the school setting.
·
Pants, jeans, etc. must be worn appropriately. In particular, pants may not be worn below a student’s natural hip –
undergarments must be fully covered. Pants may not hang or drag on the floor.
·
Jewelry, accessories, etc. which could be used as a weapon may not be worn. This includes “wallet chains”, spiked collars, and
the like.
·
T-shirts must have slogans, pictures, etc. which are school appropriate. Therefore, beer logos, foul language, drug references,
sexual innuendoes, demonic messages, etc. are unacceptable.
·
·
Skirts, shorts, and tops must cover a student’s body. A general rule for skirt/short length is a student with her hands by her side
must touch skirt, not skin. Tops must fully cover the chest, shoulder, and midriff area. Tank tops and spaghetti straps are not
permitted.
·
Any clothing style which promotes, represents, or symbolizes a gang or gang mentality is strictly prohibited. Bandanas worn
anywhere on the body are not permitted.
·
Shorts should be worn during warmer weather months. We ask that students, along with the assistance of parents, use good
judgment when choosing to wear shorts based on the weather. Shorts must be school appropriate – biker / lycra shorts, cut-offs, and
“hot pants” are not permitted. A general rule for short length is a student with his/her hands at her side must touch short, not skin.
·
Sandals must have straps. Flip flops may not be worn.
·
Bandanas may not be worn in any manner.
