Dress Standards - p. 65 in FISD Student Handbook

The district’s dress standards are established to prevent disruption and support the safety of all students, staff, and campus visitors. 

The dress standards of the Frisco Independent School District are meant to promote a positive, professional learning environment where the focus is on instruction and not on clothing. Clothing, hairstyles and accessories will meet reasonable, school-appropriate standards that support a safe school environment. 

A student’s personal dress standards must adhere to the following general criteria: 

1. Shall not lead school officials to reasonably believe that such dress will disrupt, interfere with, disturb, or detract from school activities. 

2. Shall not be drug, alcohol, or gang-related, offensive, and/or distract from or interfere with the learning environment of the school. 

3. Shall not create a health or other hazard to the student’s safety or to the safety of others. 

The District prohibits pictures, emblems, or writings on materials or clothing that are lewd, offensive, vulgar, and immodest or promote or refer to alcoholic beverages, drugs, or any other substance prohibited under policy FISD Board Policy/Exhibit FNCF. 

The District also prohibits any clothing that may reasonably be expected to cause disruption of or interference with normal operations. Shirts or other clothing items depicting or promoting acts of violence, guns, weapons, death, dismemberment, disfigurement, gang activity or affiliation, or other offensive items or wording are specifically prohibited. Tactical-style vests or attire that is tactical in nature which may reasonably cause a substantial disruption of the school day is prohibited. 

Furthermore, to support proper hygiene on campus and maintain an environment conducive to learning, blankets and pillows, whether “worn” or carried, are prohibited on campus, unless otherwise directed by the school staff. The following statements serve as guidelines so that there is no question of what is acceptable
