The district’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption, and minimize safety hazards. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following during instructional time:

●Hair
o Hair must be neat, clean and well groomed. Hair style/color must not create disruptions or distraction.
o Head sweatbands, hair rollers, combs, or brushes may not be worn in the hair.
o Facial hair, while allowed, must be neatly groomed and a natural color.
o No type of head covering, cap or hat is to be worn or brought to school except as otherwise permitted by district policy (i.e. religious purposes).

● Dress o Any form of dress or grooming that attracts undue attention, disrupts school, is considered gang related, or detracts from the learning process is unacceptable.
o No sleepwear is to be worn at school.
o Dresses, skirts, fashion slits, and holes higher than mid-thigh are not permitted.
o Spaghetti straps, tube tops, leotards and halter-tops are not to be worn as outer garments.
o Excessively loose or tight garments are not acceptable; all clothing should be appropriately fit.
o Shirts must be worn so as not to expose the bare chest. Male students may not wear shirts without sleeves, and tank tops or undershirts are not to be worn as outer garments. The midriff must not be exposed when a student goes through the normal activities of a school day (bending, stretching, reaching, etc.)
o Garments with inappropriate decorations or advertisements are not acceptable. The American flag is not to be worn as an article of clothing. A depiction of the American flag on clothing, in a respectful manner, is acceptable.
