Stevens Creek adheres to the dress code set forth by the Columbia County Board of Education. The purpose of the student dress code is not to inhibit any person’s taste in attire, but rather to better facilitate the process of education through reasonable guidelines of dress which instill excellence and pride.
Some general guidelines are as follows:
Clothing that does NOT promote an image of excellence is an outfit
that:
• Has an extremely low neckline
• Shows bottom, backside, midriff, or bare shoulders
• Shows upper thighs
• Shows undergarments
• Includes head covering such as hoodies or hats
• Includes inappropriate pictures or text
• Promotes gang, sorority/fraternity, or criminal activity
• Includes clothing that is considered pajamas, sleepwear,
or costumes
Flip flops, backless shoes, stacked shoes, and shoes with built-in rollers are not permitted due to safety concerns. Tennis shoes are required for participation in P.E. Students are encouraged to purchase small hand-carried book bags. Rolling book bags are discouraged as they create a safety hazard in crowded hallways and transportation loading areas.
If a student is dressed in a style that does not follow the guidelines below or the style is considered extreme or excessive, the student will be asked to correct the situation and change, as well as be assigned the appropriate disposition.
