Dress Code

 

 

All students are expected to dress appropriately for a K-12 educational environment.  Any clothing that interferes with or disrupts the educational environment is unacceptable.  Clothing with language or images that are vulgar, discriminatory, or obscene, or clothing that promotes illegal or violent conduct, such as gang symbols, the unlawful use of weapons, drugs, alcohol,  tobacco, or drug paraphernalia, or clothing that contains threats is prohibited.  (See page 16, section II.A.2.l., for additional information regarding gang-related clothing.)  Clothing should fit, be neat and clean, and conform to standards of safety, good taste, and decency.  Clothing that exposes cleavage, private parts, the midriff, or undergarments, or that is otherwise sexually provocative, is prohibited.  Examples of prohibited clothing include, but are not limited to sagging or low-cut pants, low-cut necklines that show cleavage, tube tops, halter tops, backless blouses or blouses with only ties in the back, studded belts, chain belts, clothing constructed of see-through materials, and head coverings unless required for religious or medical purposes.

 

Parents or guardians of students requiring accommodation for religious beliefs, disabilities, or other good causes should contact the principal.  Students not complying with this code will be asked to cover the noncomplying clothing, change clothes, or go home.  Repeated infractions will result in disciplinary action.  The current version of Regulation 2613 provides additional details.
