"Page 29/30 of the Student Handbook: regarding dress code in school
It is essential that school guidelines be such that an atmosphere for learning is
created. Dress regulations should discourage the extremes and the fads that may
lead to disruptions or to distractions. Such regulations should provide appropriate
standards for the general appearance of students, should foster both physical and
mental health, and should train students in proper dress habits.
The regulations governing campus dress and grooming standards will be enforced
by the administration and by the faculty.
1. General Requirements for All Students
a. Students may not wear a military uniform or any part of a uniform to school
unless it is in conjunction with a school-approved activity.
b. Students may not wear suggestive or inappropriately-located decorative

garment in a disrespectful manner.
d. Hats or head coverings may not be worn in the school buildings.
e. Appropriate footwear is required.
f. Any garment or design of a garment which is too short or too revealing and
would tend to provoke a suggestive or uncomplimentary remark may not be
worn to school. Appropriate undergarments must be worn.
g. Any attire that is distracting or disturbing will not be permitted on school
property.
h. Shirts and blouses must be buttoned to within one button of the throat or its
equivalent. No underwear-styled garments will be worn as an outer garment.
i. Shorts ("walking" or "Bermuda" type)/skirts/dresses are acceptable as long as
they are mid-thigh or below. Bike shorts of any style or length, worn either as
an outer or visible under garment, are prohibited. No apparel designed for
participation in sporting events is to be worn on school property during school
hours, except for school-sponsored activities.
j. Pants that hang on the hipbone, frayed pants, unhemmed pants, or those
that result in a bare midriff are not acceptable.
k. Any low-cut, see-through, or backless dress, tank top, blouse, or shirt may
not be worn to school. Straps on outer garments must be sufficiently wide to
cover undergarments.
l. Hair must be clean and neatly combed and out of the eyes. It may not be
rolled or covered by a scarf. Any hair style or color that is distracting or
disturbing will not be permitted on school property. Designs and insignias

o. No student will wear exposed rings, studs, or other jewelry associated with
body piercing. Students may, however, wear earrings or ear studs.
p. Tattoos, icons, and any other markings on the body that cannot be removed
shall be covered at all times in an unobtrusive manner that is not disruptive to
the instructional process. A student who has such markings on his or her
body and who wishes to participate in extracurricular activities shall ensure that the markings are covered by the standard uniform for the activity or in
another appropriate manner. The principal, in cooperation with the sponsor,
coach, or other person in charge of an extracurricular activity, shall regulate
and enforce these guidelines.
q. Students may not wear orthodontic appliances unless prescribed by a
medical doctor/dentist." |
