APPROPRIATE DRESS
Although student dress and
grooming are the personal responsibility of
the student and his/her parents, students
are expected to exercise good taste.
Students are expected to attend school
appropriately covered. Any attire that
exposes undergarments, excessive skin, or
inappropriate areas of the anatomy are not
acceptable for school wear:
* shorts, skirts, and dresses
need to be mid thigh or longer.
* tops must have one strap for each shoulder
that are a minimum of ½ inch in width.
* student backs should be covered at least up
to shoulder blades.
* student upper garment and lower garment
should meet when seated.
* no midriffs/navels should be showing.
* student fronts should be covered from the
armpits down.
* undergarments cannot be worn as outer
garments.
* excessively tight garments which reveal body
parts and undergarments should be avoided.
* sleeveless tops must cover to the top of the
armpit for both male and female students.
Hats and other head coverings, including
hoods, are not to be worn in classrooms,
commons, or auditorium. Hats/head coverings
(including scarves) that are confiscated
will be kept in the Main Office for parent
pickup. Confiscated hats/head coverings are
only kept one school year. If they are not
picked up within that time, they will be
gotten rid of. Materials used as hair
bands/headbands need to be 2" or smaller and
must be used for sole purpose of controlling
hair. Shoes must be worn at all times in
and around the building. T-shirts that are
considered lewd, suggestive (including
popular restaurant chains), supportive of
illegal substances (including drugs, alcohol
and tobacco products), or
culturally/sexually offensive are not
permitted.
Just because a student has attended one or
more classes dressed inappropriately does
not mean that a student may not be referred
for disciplinary action later in the day.
Students will normally be given the
opportunity to change clothes. The
disciplinary action to be taken for
offenders is up to the administration.
