Like places of business, we require that students dress appropriately for “work.” Granted, a more casual style is accepted, and we respect students’ rights to express themselves; however, some items of clothing are not acceptable in school. 

Students are expected to dress adequately, suited to the weather conditions, and in good taste. Any article of clothing or style of dress that tends to draw attention, interfere with instruction, or threatens health or safety is considered inappropriate. All students are expected to adhere to this dress code. Inappropriately dressed students will be sent to an administrator, and parents will be called for a change of clothing. 

• Students are expected to dress adequately, suitably for weather conditions, and in good taste.
• No outside coats or hats (jackets, letter jackets, hats, skull caps, bandanas, or do-rags). Hooded sweatshirts with hood down. 
• No articles of clothing, especially shirts, decorated with obscene phrases (beer, alcohol, contraband, or tobacco comments), or any language that may be interpreted as abusive, vulgar, or sexually explicit.
• No sunglasses, curlers, wave clips, hair rollers, or gloves are permitted at school. 
• The following attire is NOT permitted: bicycle shorts, shorts that are too revealing, halter tops, house slippers, pajamas and lounging pants, tops or dresses that show cleavage, spaghetti straps, or have revealing sides. 
• Pants are to cover skin and undergarments and worn at waist level at all times. Boxer shorts, pajamas, and other undergarments are not to be seen. Pants that have holes or slits should have leggings/shorts under them. 

Parents and students will be notified of any violations of the dress code. All students are expected to adhere to this dress code. Inappropriately dressed students will be sent to an administrator for progressive discipline and parents will be called for a change of clothes or to send them home when necessary.
