Dress Code

Students shall dress and groom in a clean, neat and modest manner so as not to distract or interfere with the operation of the school.  More specifically, the guidelines for dress including elementary, middle, and junior high students should remain within the following restrictions:

• Shorts, dresses, skirts, or pant skirts (split) cannot be shorter than six (6) inches above the knee when measured while the student is kneeling.

• Form-fitting Lycra pants and bicycle shorts are not permitted unless proper length clothing (six inches above the knee or longer) is worn over them.

• No tank tops, bare midriffs, crop tops, halter-tops, spaghetti straps, tube tops, or sheer or see-through tops, including net tops.

• No vulgarities, "hate" (racial) remarks, obscene language, suggestive remarks or drug- or alcohol-related remarks will be permitted.

• No sweatbands, headbands, or bandanas around the forehead while inside the building.  No hats or caps inside the building.  No sunglasses inside the building.

• Cut-offs may be worn only if properly hemmed or rolled up as to show no fringe or raveling.  Once hemmed or turned up, they must still fall within six (6) inches above the knee or longer guidelines.

• No visible holes, tears, cut-outs, or slits should appear above the six (6) inches above the knee or longer guidelines on shorts, pants, dresses, or skirts.

• All shorts, pants, skirts and dresses shall fit properly and not be worn sagging or backward.  All straps on overalls must be fastened.

Students should remember that if there is a question in their minds about clothing, it would be best to wear something they know is acceptable.  Multiple infractions of any of these rules may result in disciplinary action.
