Dress Code

Appropriate Attire

The home is the most encouraging environment for setting appropriate appearance standards. While we recognize the importance of individual expression, there clearly are certain styles that are not conducive to an educational environment. Students are expected to comply with the following:

• A student's hairstyle, clothing, jewelry, and makeup should not distract others from learning.
• Clothing with printed vulgarities and/or drug and alcohol-related themes are not acceptable.
• Gang-related apparel as defined below is not to be worn.
• Skin-tight apparel, excessively baggy apparel, short shorts, bare midriffs, mini skirts, and loose-fitting tank tops are not appropriate.
• Students must wear shoes at all times.
• Although hats may be worn outdoors, students may not wear hats or sunglasses in any classroom.
