Dress Code

DRESS CODE

The Governing Board believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive  learning environment. The Board expects students to give proper attention to personal  cleanliness and to wear clothes that are suitable for the school activities in which they  participate. Students have the right to make individual choices from a wide range of clothing  and grooming styles, but they must not present a health or safety hazard or a distraction, which  would interfere with the educational process. 

When gangs constitute a danger to students, the Superintendent or designee may restrict  student dress and grooming as necessary to comply with Board policy related to gang activity. The purpose of the dress code is to communicate to students and parents what is and is not  considered appropriate in order to reduce missed class time when students have to change  their clothing. Any clothing deemed inappropriate or disruptive by the school administrators  will not be tolerated. If you are unsure, don’t wear it! 

Please choose to wear clothing that is appropriate for weather conditions and will not create  any distractions. The following articles of clothing are inappropriate for the school setting, and  are not acceptable: 

Students failing to comply will be sent to the office and will be given the option to change into  other clothes, call home for a change of clothing or remain in the office until a change of  clothes is provided. Repeated violations will result in a disciplinary consequence.
