2021-22 Student Dress Code
The district’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption, and minimize
safety hazards. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress, and grooming standards,
provided that they comply with the following:
• Hair and facial hair must be clean and neatly groomed. Hairstyles, which pose safety hazards in certain
classes, may require that the hair be secured in such a manner as to create the least potential problem.
Students may not wear hair rollers to school.
• Skirts and shorts may be no shorter than 3 inches from the top of the knee. This includes shorts or skirts
that are worn with leggings. They must be 3 inches from the knee as well.
• Holes or rips in jeans, pants, or shorts that are three inches above the top of the knee shall not show the
student’s bare skin.
• Pants, jeans, and/or skirts must be worn above the hip bones (no sagging). Clothing must be
appropriately sized and remain at the waistline.
• Visible body piercing (other than the ears and a small nose stud piercing) and related jewelry is
prohibited. Prohibited areas of the body include, but are not limited to eyebrow, cheek, tongue, and lips.
Band-Aids to cover jewelry or spacers are not allowed. Ear gauges are also unacceptable.
• Spiked jewelry including earrings are prohibited. Rosary beads worn as jewelry are prohibited. Earrings
larger than 2 inches in diameter is prohibited.
• Tight fitting workout attire (tights, spandex, etc.) are not acceptable outside of a designated activity
period such as athletics or P.E.
• Students may not wear attire such as leggings without acceptable clothing over them, or jogging/biker
shorts designed for more casual settings. District approved shorts may be worn in physical education
classes.
• The torso, shoulders, back, stomach, hips and buttocks must be covered. Tank tops, undershirts or
muscle shirts are not allowed. Revealing clothing and see-through materials are not acceptable.
Low cut necklines and/or revealing clothing including see-through materials, are not acceptable. All
undergarments must be covered.
• Pajama and sleepwear are prohibited, including night footwear such as slippers and house shoes.
• Trench coats, long capes, and dusters are not allowed.
• Shoes or sandals must be worn at all times. All shoe types should secure to the foot from the toes to the
heel. Flip flops are not allowed. For safety reasons, during recess and certain classes where open-toed
shoes present a potential hazard, closed-toed shoes are to be worn.
• Sunglasses worn in the building are not acceptable, unless approved by the principal or as a result of a
doctor’s authorization submitted to the principal and nurse.
