Elementary Dress Code
The dress and grooming of Frisco Independent School District students are expected to be in keeping with accepted community standards. The student and parent may determine the student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided they comply with the general guidelines set out below and with the student dress code outlined in this handbook.
The district’s dress code is established to teach hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, and avoid safety hazards. Students shall come to school looking clean, neat, and exhibiting grooming that will not be a health or safety hazard to the student or others. The district prohibits pictures, emblems, or writings on materials or clothing that are lewd, offensive, vulgar, immodest, or promote or refer to alcoholic beverages, drugs, or any other substance prohibited under policy FNCF (1). Shirts or other clothing items depicting or promoting acts of violence, guns, weapons, death, dismemberment, disfigurement, or other offensive items are specifically prohibited.
The district also prohibits any clothing or grooming that in the principal’s judgment may reasonably be expected to cause disruption of or interference with normal operations.
Since research indicates that student dress helps set the pattern for classroom behavior, we do expect you to look neat. Guidelines have been developed to aid you and your parents to select the proper attire for school wear.
We ask that you follow these guidelines:
Shoes must be worn at all times.
Shorts of appropriate length may be worn.
Inappropriate or revealing clothing will not be permitted and is subject to building administration discretion.
Clothing items with provocative, offensive, violent, drug-related or gang-related pictures or slogans will not be permitted.
Items advertising alcoholic beverages or tobacco products will not be permitted.
All students are expected to meet standard and school policies with regard to health, cleanliness and appearance.
No sagging pants or shorts will be permitted.
No gang paraphernalia.
No caps, hats, head rags, bandanas, or other headwear are permitted.
No shoes with wheels.
Students may not wear colored hair paint or colored gel to school at any time.

For safety reasons, we discourage students from wearing flip-flops; these types of shoes are a hazard on the playground during recess.
