STUDENT DRESS and GROOMING
Students
5132(a)
Student Dress
The Board of Education has determined that reasonable regulation of school attire can further important
educational interests including:
(1)
(2)
(3)
(4)
(5)
(6)
(7)
(8)
Reducing distraction and loss of self-esteem caused by teasing or competition over clothing;
Providing an environment where students can focus more on learning;
Enhancing school safety by making it harder to conceal weapons or
contraband;
Creating a greater sense of community amongst the students;
Preparing students for the future roles in the professional workplace;
Creating an atmosphere reflecting seriousness of purpose about education;
Presenting a more positive image to the community;
and
Minimizing disruption from wearing inappropriate clothing or possessing inappropriate items
at school.
It is the responsibility of parents to ensure that their children’s dress conforms to requirements set forth
below. The health, safety and education of the child must be the concern of every parent/guardian. It is the
recommendation of professional school personnel that parents/guardians hold their children to the highest
standard in regards to school attire.
In order to maintain an environment conducive to the educational process, the Board of Education
prohibits the following from wear during the academic school day:
a. Coats, jackets, or other attire normally worn as outerwear. Outerwear includes: coats, jackets,
windbreakers, nylon pullovers, down vests, and other clothing the administration deems inappropriate.
Such clothing or outerwear shall not be worn, carried, or kept in the classroom during regular school
hours except on the elementary level where it shall be kept in cubbies, closets or storage areas..
b. Head coverings of any kind, including but not limited to scarves, bandanas,
masks, headbands, visors, kerchiefs, athletic sweatbands, hats, caps or hoods. Approved coverings worn
as part of a student’s religious practice or belief shall not be prohibited under this policy. Head
coverings shall not be worn, carried, hung on belts or around the neck, or kept in the classroom during
regular school hours.
c. Items a. and b. above must be secured in the student’s locker or in a designated storage area, before
school starts. Items not stored will be confiscated by the Principal and kept until such time as he/she
feels it is appropriate to return them.
d. Footwear which mars floors, causes damage to floors, excessive noise or is a safety hazard including but
not limited to, flip-flops, spike heels, boots.
e. Sunglasses, whether worn or carried or eyewear that is not medically necessary.
5132(b)
f. Oversized metal belt buckles and all metal belts or belts featuring metal other than the buckle such as
chains hanging off the belt or loops.
g. Spiked or studded bracelets, brass knuckles, oversized or multi-finger rings, belts or any other article of
attire with spikes or studs attached, or any other clothing item that may present a safety hazard to the
student, other students, or staff.
Start-of-Year Packet - Page 21
h. Attire or accessories which contain overly offensive or disruptive writing or
pictures likely to unduly disrupt the educational environment, or which
constitute “fighting words”, gang colors, signage, etc., or which depict the logo or emblems of drugs,
tobacco products or alcoholic beverages; or attire or accessories that encourage the use of such
products.
i. Shirts and/or blouses which reveal the abdomen, chest, or undergarments.
j. See-through clothing, tank tops, spaghetti straps or strapless.
k. Shorts, miniskirts, or pants which reveal the upper thigh or undergarments.
Spandex garments are allowed only if they are covered by shorts or skirts.
l. Pants that reveal any portion of the torso or the undergarments, or that are
more than two sizes larger than the student’s physical size would require.
m. If permitted by the school administration, backpacks and/or book bags may be carried between classes,
but shall not obstruct safe passage in the classroom or in the corridors.
RELIGIOUS AND HEALTH ACCOMMODATIONS: Where the bona fide religious beliefs or health needs of
a student conflict with the school attire policy, the schools will provide reasonable accommodation. Any
student desiring accommodation shall notify their school principal in writing of the requested
accommodation and the factual basis for the request. Approved coverings worn as part of a student’s
bona fide religious practices or beliefs shall not be prohibited under this policy.
COMPLIANCE: School administrators and teachers are encouraged to use positive reinforcement to obtain
compliance with school attire requirements. However, when a student fails to comply with the school
attire policy, discipline is appropriate. The following discipline procedures shall apply:
High School:
First Offense
Removal from class with a chance
to correct and return to class. Written
notification to parent/guardian of the
incident. (If unable to correct, they will
not be allowed to return to class.)
