Dress Code Changes

Dress Code - 2022-23

If a style of dress or grooming becomes or appears to become disruptive to the educational process or constitutes a threat to the safety or health of students, it will not be permitted in school. Further, some types of dress are considered inappropriate when worn in school since they do not promote an educational atmosphere that is conducive to learning.   Dress and appearance must be such that students are covered from shoulders to mid-thigh.  If there is any doubt about dress and appearance, the building administrator will make the final decision.

• At the elementary schools:  Students are encouraged to wear gym shoes each day, due to daily PE and recess.  Students are also encouraged to dress appropriately for the weather conditions.  Please remember that we will go outside for recess and PE, and students should be dressed appropriately.
• No undergarment exposure.
• No bare or stocking feet (shoes must be worn at all times).
• No hats or bandannas.
• No accessories with spikes or chains.
• No sunglasses.
• No pajamas unless approved by the administration.
• No outerwear (coats, jackets, gloves) may be worn in class unless approved by the teacher.
• No clothing or accessories with references to alcohol, tobacco, drugs, sex, obscenities, violence, weapons, ethnic/racial slurs, or superiority. 

 

School sponsored uniforms must adhere to the above criteria.  Criteria for wearing school sponsored uniforms during the school day are approved by the administration.  Separate dress code criteria for certain extracurricular activities are appropriate and will be determined by the administration.  Students who violate the dress code/personal appearance policy will be required to change clothes and may receive disciplinary action.
