Student Dress and Appearance Policy

Student dress is a responsibility reserved mainly for parents and pupils. We encourage comfort, neatness, and cleanliness, which call for daily bathing, combing, brushing, and changing clothes. If a student’s dress or appearance is deemed unsatisfactory, the parents will be contacted and expected to help resolve the matter. Suggested guidelines include:

1. Shorts and skirts must be worn at an appropriate length.
2. Tank tops, tube tops, halter tops, see-through materials, mesh shirts and any other materials that might expose the midriff or chests are inappropriate.
3. T-shirts and other clothing that depict references to controlled substances, gang affiliations, unacceptable language and symbols, or that may be sensitive to the culture of students or staff members are prohibited. No clothing will be permitted that may be offensive or suggestive to any race, sex, or religion.
4. Pants and trousers must be fastened properly around the waist. When belts are worn, they are to remain buckled.
5. Shoes must be worn at all times.
6. No sun/shade glasses are to be worn in the building unless it is medically prescribed for indoors use.
7. No headgear is to be worn inside of the building. (i.e. hats, caps, hoods, bandannas, kerchiefs, curlers, etc.)
