STUDENT CONDUCT

DRESS CODE

(REGULATION)

 

 

In accordance with the policy of the board of education, the following regulation shall establish a dress and grooming code for the public school system.

 

Generally, students should regard neatness and cleanliness in grooming and clothing as important.  Dress or grooming which is in any way disruptive to the operation of the school will not be permitted.

 

Revealing or sexually provocative clothing, or clothing of extreme style may not be worn.

 

Principals, in conjunction with sponsors, coaches, or other per­sons in charge of extracurricular activities, may regu­late dress and grooming of students who participate in a particular activity if the principal reasonably believes that the student's dress or grooming creates a hazard, or may prevent, interfere with, or adversely affect the purpose, direction, or effort required for the activity to achieve its goals.

 

If a student's dress or grooming is objectionable under the above provisions, the principal shall request the student to make appro­priate corrections.  If the student declines, the principal shall notify the student's parents or legal guard­ian and request that person to make the necessary correction.  If both the student and parent or legal guardian refuse, the principal shall take appropriate disciplinary action.

 

Students who violate provisions of the dress code and who refuse to correct the violation may be disciplined by re­moval or exclu­sion from extracurricular activities.  In extreme cases, students may be suspended until the violation is corrected.

 

The following are specifically prohibited:

 

   1.       Shorts, cutoffs, or tank tops except in gym.

   2.       Shirts or blouses that do not overlap their skirts or trousers.  Shirts should cover the chest.

   3.       Writing or pictures on shirts or patches or other clothing items that suggest obscenity or vulgarity or that promotes any type of behavior that is illegal for minors to engage in.

   4.       Indoor wearing of hats or caps.  (Exceptions may be made for students with religious beliefs requiring a head covering or for medical reasons.)
