Students and parents are expected to read and adhere to the student dress code policy at all times. Please see the Student Code of Conduct (listed below) section for additional details. Students who violate the student dress code policy may have to call home for a parent to bring in appropriate clothing before being allowed to continue the school day.

Code of Conduct: Dress Code

If a student has selected a manner of appearance that disrupts the educational process or presents a risk to themselves or others, they may be removed from the educational setting. Any student whose appearance diminishes or detracts from the educational climate of the school will be removed from the school until the problem is corrected and/or disciplinary action has been taken. A student’s appearance shall not be so extreme as to pose a safety hazard to him/herself or to others or interfere with the educational process. Indecent exposure will result in disciplinary action. A student’s appearance shall also not be so extreme as to attract undue attention or cause a disturbance. Students who are representing any of our schools at an official function or public event may be required to follow specific dress requirements in alignment with that function and responsibility. Usually, this applies to athletic teams, cheerleaders, bands, student government, and other such groups. Specific guidelines for acceptable apparel include but are not limited to:

• Apparel must be reasonably clean and free of offensive odor;
• Apparel or items, which allude to drugs, alcohol, sex/suggestive phrases, the occult, gangs, weapons, or which are offensive to ethnic or racial groups are prohibited;
• Students, in general, should be covered from a conservative neckline to the mid-thigh in an outfit that has traditional sleeves
• Apparel or items which could cause damage to school furniture or property are prohibited including metal chains and jewelry with spikes
• No sagging, drop crotch/jogger, harem type pants are permitted. Pants are to be worn above the hip bones.
• Purses are not to be carried during the school day. All purses are to be kept in the student’s locker.
• Coats are not to be worn or carried during normal school hours except with administrative approval.
