School Dress Code

(excerpt taken from the Oak Grove Elementary Parent/Student Handbook)

Students’ dress should be neat and allow for maximum comfort in a learning environment. In no way should a student’s dress be a distraction in the classroom. Any dress deemed inappropriate by the teacher or an administrator will be addressed. Students violating the dress code will be given an opportunity to go to the clinic to change clothes, or in cases where no other appropriate clothing is available at school, may be sent home to change into appropriate clothing. Students should adhere to the following dress standards:

• Hats, caps, bandanas, headbands, or any other unnecessary headcovering are not to be worn at school and before and after school on school buses, unless announced for special occasions.
• Clothing with obscene or suggestive language, promoting gangs or violence, or racial or cultural insensitivity is not permitted, along with any clothing articles that advertise alcohol, sex, drugs, or tobacco.
• Crop tops, halter tops, or any other shirts exposing the midriff are not allowed.
• Shoulder straps on dresses, blouses, or shirts must be wide enough to support the garment.
• Clothing should be proper fitting and not be oversized for the student. This allows for greater ease of movement and safety.
• Pants are to be worn so that underwear is not visible.
• Dresses, shorts, skirts, or skorts must be at least mid-thigh length and extend below the fingertips when arms are hanging downward.
