Student Handbook
The stakeholders at Pleasant Hill Middle School
are dedicated to providing a safe and secure
learning environment for all students.
Therefore, we reserve the right to monitor the
mode of dress on campus and make
appropriate adjustments to the dress of
individuals, groups, or the entire student body as
is necessary to maintain a positive learning
environment.
Dress should be appropriate for normal school
activities; it should reflect pride and respect.
The purpose of these basic dress guidelines is
not to infringe upon any individual student’s
right to freedom of expression, but rather to
encourage students to “dress for success”
and come to school properly prepared to
focus on learning.
We are requesting the cooperation of all
students and their parents in adhering to this
policy.
