Middle School Dress Code
In order to maintain an orderly environment conducive to the attainment of the educational mission and purpose of the District, all students shall be required to meet the expectations of the dress and grooming code. Dress and apparel that unduly attract the attention of other students often precipitate comments and/or other reactions that are disruptive. Safety, general health, and hygiene are factors
that are also considered in the establishment of this dress/grooming code.

1. Student’s hair shall be neatly cut, clean, and/or combed so as to be kept out of the eyes. Odd colored hair dyes and hairstyles or cuts, which are distracting to others, shall not be permitted.

2. Appropriate footwear must be worn.

3. Shirts of underwear type, see-through clothing, muscle shirts, halters and spandex clothing may not be worn. Shoulders, back, chest and midriff must be covered and no underwear may be visible.

4. Shorts and skirts should be no shorter than fingertip length when the arm is at the side. Biker (spandex), boxer, and wind shorts are not allowed.

5. Clothing or possessions which promote/display inappropriate messages shall not be permitted. Apparel should not display risque’ prints or symbols, gang graffiti or monikers, lewd, vulgar, obscene or suggestive language/design. Advertisements or symbols that promote or depict drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, violence or Satanism are prohibited on all apparel, jewelry and accessories. No chains, handcuffs or any other accessories that suggest weaponry will be allowed.

6. Any clothing which is identified by the administration as gang-related or a safety concern will not be permitted.

7. Pants must be worn at a natural waistline. Hats, caps, forehead bands, bandannas, sunglasses, or other head coverings and distracting accessories will not be worn in the school building.

8. SPECIAL EXCEPTION – This code is not to be construed so as to apply to those pupils in certain elective subjects such as band, organized sports, or to students in voluntary student organizations which are called upon from time to time to represent their school in public events. Teachers and sponsors of these subjects and organizations will continue to require those standards of dress and appearance that they deem appropriate and which have served in the past to mark those school representatives with honor and distinction.
