Student Dress Code

Student dress and personal grooming are to be consistent with a business-like classroom atmosphere conducive to learning. Dress and grooming must not distract from the educational purpose or atmosphere at school. Students who wear clothing that may be deemed vulgar or offensive will be asked to change, turn the inappropriate garment inside out or call home to have parents bring appropriate attire. Due to decisions regarding identifying and clarifying the rights of all members gathered in public schools, the wearing of any clothing, or if one’s personal appearance disrupts the educational process, it is prohibited. If it is determined that an article of clothing bears a message that any student/employee would reasonably find objectionable, then the education process has been affected. Building administrators are given general authority and professional discretion in the administration of these rules and regulations. Students determined to be dressed/ groomed improperly will be handled according to the Student Conduct Behavior rules.
