Students will observe modesty, appropriateness and neatness in their clothing and personal appearance.

Specifically:

  • The length of shorts, skirts and dresses will extend below finger tips when arms are extended.
  • No clothing will be worn with symbols or signs that promote or exhibit gangs, alcohol, drugs, tobacco, sex, profanity, nudity or violent behavior.
  • Hats, hoods or bandanas will not be worn on school grounds unless there is a need due to inclement weather or a special event authorized by the school principal.
  • No revealing garments will be worn. Exhibiting midriffs, straps, chests and personal parts of the body is not allowed.
  • Jewelry that causes a distraction or a safety issue is prohibited.
  • No distracting hair color or makeup will be worn.
  • Shoes will be appropriate for in- or outside athletic activities. No "flip-flop" sandals or wheeled shoes are allowed. All sandal-type shoes must have a closed back and closed toes.
  • Baggy or "sagging" pants are not allowed.

School administration has the authority to address dress code issues not explicitly mentioned above in order to maintain a safe, healthy and productive educational environment. This dress code shall be enforced according to the school's existing citizenship/discipline policy.
