Dress and Grooming
Research has indicated that student behavior is influenced by student dress and grooming. To aid students and their parents in making decisions about appropriate dress and grooming for schools, the following guidelines have been established by our district:
Guidelines
- Shorts and skorts may be worn at the elementary level. In grades three through five, they should be no more than four inches above the top of the kneecap.
- In grades three through twelve, skirts, dresses, and culottes must be no more than four inches above the top of the kneecap. There should not be a cut or slit in the clothing that extends beyond the four inch limit. These requirements also applies to school uniforms.
- Appropriate footwear must be worn; footwear which has toes reinforced with steel, hard plastics or similar materials is prohibited.
- Hair must be neat and clean. Unconventional colored, multi-colored or spiked or Mohawk hair styles are not permitted.
- Headwear is not allowed in the building.
- Any clothes that are suggestive or indecent or which cause distraction are not acceptable. Specifically, oversized clothing, tank tops, muscle shirts, halter tops, spaghetti straps, exposed backs or midriffs and see-through garments are not permitted.
- Indecent/Inappropriate patches, writings or drawings on clothing are prohibited.
- All pants are to be full length (Capri pants should be no less than four inches below the bottom of the kneecap) and worn at the waist (no sagging or bagging). Tight fitting pants ( e.g. tights, Spandex, bicycle pants) are also prohibited. Cut-offs and intentionally frayed pants are prohibited.
- Body piercing jewelry is prohibited except for rings, studs or other traditional jewelry worn in the ear. Tongue rings and tongue studs are not permitted.
