Dress Code Violation
Definition: Violation of the school’s dress code including, but not limited to, wearing clothing with profanity, suggestive themes such as alcohol, drugs, sex, death, or violence.
When it is determined that a dress code violation has occurred the student will be asked to leave class until the student is able to acquire appropriate clothing.
In general terms, clothing should cover the entire trunk of the body (chest, back, torso) and legs appropriately, according to the following criteria. Examples of clothing that may be considered disruptive to the school environment or pose a safety hazard, are described, but may not be limited to those, in parentheses.
Tops should not reveal bare back, chest, or midriff. (Students should not wear halter, tube, or revealing tank tops; shirts cut off at the shoulder, neck, or waist; bathing suits; or any other kind of garment that exposes any part of the torso.)
Skirts/shorts should be of appropriate length and should not interfere with normal student movement and/ activity.
Pants should not fall below the lower line of the shirt to reveal bare back or midriff nor should they be so baggy or sag so low in the inseam as to limit safe mobility.
No part of any undergarment should be exposed. (Students should not wear spaghetti straps, or loosely fitting tank tops, or low-waist bottoms that do not cover undergarments).
Clothing should have no depiction that advertises, promotes, or advocates tobacco, alcohol, drugs, violence, or antisocial behavior, offensive language, or contain racially or ethnically provocative or sexually explicit language, indicate membership in or affiliation with any gang associated with criminal activities, or which has the effect of insulting or demeaning any student or group of students (by referring to any actual or perceived physical characteristics, such as race, color, religion, ancestry, national origin, gender, sexual orientation, gender identity and expression, or a mental, physical, or sensory handicap, or any other distinguishing characteristic) in violation of the District's policies and procedures for the prevention of harassment and bullying.
No extraneous accessories should be evident. (Students should not wear heavy chains, dog collars, neckerchiefs, etc.).
Suitable footwear should be worn at all times. (Students should not wear shoes that cause imbalance or inability to maneuver quickly or safely, such as "spike" heels, “slides,” and “flip-flops", “crocs”).
