Dress Code

Students have a responsibility to be dressed for school in ways that uphold the learning environment and avoid learning disruption. 

Students will be counseled if their style of dress:

• Causes a disruption to the school environment, including any school sponsored activities

• Endangers or potentially threatens the health and/or safety of self or others

• Fails to meet a reasonable requirement of a course or activity

• Is associated with gangs

• Is or has the potential to become lewd, vulgar, obscene, see-through, or insensitive [note: undergarments may not function as outer garments]

• Promotes the use of tobacco, alcohol or drugs

As long as the student's style of dress is consistent with these guidelines, they are permitted to wear religious garments and accessories that support and/or represent cultural identity.

Staff will equitably advise all students regardless of race, gender, and/or identity, about inappropriate dress while in the school building and/or school sponsored practices, events, and functions and inform the student’s counselor for further advice. Staff will make every effort to avoid embarrassment of students to preserve their relationship with the student and avoid any potential negative impacts to any student’s mental health and well-being.
