Dress Code

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.

The following statements serve as guidelines so that there is no question of what is acceptable:

Clothing - General

Clothing should be worn for the purpose for which it was designed.

Dresses and Skirts

Must extend below the undergarment area at all times whether in standing or sitting position.

Head Coverings & Sunglasses

Sunglasses and/or any head coverings that might conceal all or some portion of the face from clear view are not permitted to be worn in the building.

Pants/Shorts

Undergarments should not be visible at any time. Tears, frays, or ragged edges and holes may only be below the buttocks and pelvic region at all times.

Shorts, including athletic shorts, must extend beyond the buttocks and pelvic region at all times. If tights, leggings, or other form-fitting pants are worn, the buttocks and pelvic region must be covered at all times by a dress, shirt, skirt, or shorts.

Shoes

Shoes with a hard sole must be worn at all times; house shoes are not permitted. Tennis shoes should be worn in physical education classes. Shoes with wheels are not allowed.

Elementary: Students are discouraged from wearing flip-flops, heels, and/or wedges as these types of shoes can pose a hazard on the playground and are not permitted in P.E.

Shirts and Blouses

Sleeveless tops must be wide enough to cover undergarments. See-through, strapless, bare midriff, underwear-type sleeveless shirts, beachwear, swimwear, tube tops, and low-cut clothing is not permitted.

Shirt hems should extend to or past the waist of pants/shorts/skirts at all times.

Students in violation of the student dress and grooming code will be expected to change to appropriate attire when violations occur. Parents will be asked to bring a change of clothes, as the school has a very limited supply. Students will not be allowed to leave campus for the purpose of changing clothes.

Thank you for your support as we work to maintain an environment conducive for learning.
