The district’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption, and minimize safety hazards.  Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following:

Other Guidelines

• Hats, hoods and caps are not permitted in the school building.

• Tattoos must be hidden from view at all times.

• Students may wear earrings that are not distracting (pins, spikes, gauges and other body piercings are not acceptable).

• Visible body piercings such as tongue rings, eyebrow or nose piercings are not acceptable.

• Sunglasses may not be worn in the building unless approved with a physician’s note.

• Excessive make-up or jewelry is not acceptable.

The district reserves the right to prohibit any clothing or grooming style that the administration determines to pose health or safety hazards or that may cause the disruption of, distraction from, or interference with general school operations. The district also reserves the right to alter the dress code for special occasions as deemed necessary by the campus administrator.

If the principal determines that a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school. If not corrected, the student may be assigned to in-school suspension for the remainder of the day, until the problem is corrected, or until a parent or designee brings an acceptable change of clothing to the school. Repeated offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct.
