Reasons for Dress Regulations: |
To provide appropriate standards for the general appearance and conduct of students on the campus
To provide a standard of proper clothes in order to maintain a proper appearance and foster health
To train youth for proper dress habits as pupils and as adults later
To clarify Klein standards of dress and conduct in keeping with the traditions of Klein schools
Because proper dress to an extent determines the attitude, manners, and proper conduct of not only pupils but also adults. |
