Student Attire and Grooming
STUDENT ATTIRE AND GROOMING
The school administration,
teachers, and parents will continue to encourage all to behave and
dress in a fashion that reflects good taste and a style appropriate for
a school day or school activity. An individual’s dress, personal
appearance and cleanliness, as well as behavior should reflect
sensitivity to and a respect for others. The fact that a school
will permit a wide variety in school clothes does not mean that all
styles are equally appropriate. The main purpose of school
is education. Therefore, any attire that disrupts the educational
process will not be permitted. The final decision in any
situation in question will be resolved by the school
administration. The student dress code will extend to all
dances. Provisions shall be made for formal dance attire but will
still be expected to be appropriate and in good taste.
In addition to the above guidelines, the school administration will not
approve the following items and/or methods of grooming. This list
is not inclusive of all items that may be excluded.
-
Clothing or articles which are soiled, torn or ragged.
-
Coats or outer garments.
-
All tank tops must have two shoulder straps with a minimum of 2" in width.
-
Low cut, halter, backless or otherwise revealing tops are not allowed.
-
All shorts/dresses/skirts are to reach to
mid-thigh or longer. With arm hanging at the side and fingers extended, the
length of the shorts/dresses/skirts must extend beyond the tip of the longest finger.
-
Articles which could cause damage to individuals
or property including jewelry or other accessories with
sharp edges.
-
See-through, sheer or mesh clothing, pajama tops, bottoms or slippers are prohibited.

Any attire that a teacher/staff member deems is disruptive to the educational environment.
Students who are not dressed appropriately will be requested to comply
with the standard. Students may be issued clothes that do comply, or
change into something of their choice that does comply. Students
that refuse to comply may be excluded from class, or subject to further
disciplinary action including possible detention or suspension.
The same standards of dress extend to Commencement activities. In
addition, Seniors at Commencement Exercises will wear caps and gowns as
well as appropriate dress that will add to the honor and dignity of the
celebration.
