The Board of School Commissioners approved the following student dress
code:Students should dress appropriately
at all times (attire should be size appropriate). Dress should never
distract from school activities or prove a hazard to the student's safety
or the the safety of others. In the judgment of the administration,
a student not appropriately attired or whose grooming constitutes a
distraction or disturbance to the school environment, will be sent home
and not readmitted until he/she is properly attired or groomed.
The following attire is inappropriate:
- Hats/headbands
- Tank tops, jerseys, shirts, blouses, sweaters
or dresses that are inappropriately revealing (including spaghetti
straps)
- Jeans with holes
- Clothing which allows undergarments to be
visible when standing or sitting
- Any clothing that has obscene or profane
language, depiction of alcoholic beverages or unlawful substances,
and/or gang related
- Clothing that contains messages, slogans, or
symbols that promote racial discord such as rebel flags on shirts or
bandanas
- Clothing which exposes the midriff (tops must
extend below the beltline and/or be tucked in at all times.)
- Tattoos, either permanent or temporary (These
must be covered.)
- Visible body piercing jewelry (except of the
ears)
- Hair that is sprayed or dyed in unnatural
colors such as blue, pink, green, orange, or yellow.
Shorts, skirts, capri pants, and dresses must
be knee-length or longer.
The above listing is a minimum standard.
Principals may modify only to the extent that it is a higher standard.
The principal will notify the student's parent or
guardian and have the student remedy the problem by changing clothes or
removing/covering/reversing objectionable clothing, jewelry, tattoo, or
head covering. The student may be sent home to change clothes or
have clothes brought to him. When the problem has been corrected,
the student will return to class after the principal has determined the
disciplinary option to be administered.
