All students/staff have the right to express themselves in school through their choice of clothing, hairstyles, jewelry, and accessories. While a student’s style is their choice, we want to keep school a place where everyone can feel comfortable, and we ask that students be respectful of themselves and others when considering their attire.
Students are to refrain from wearing clothing with the following:
- Inappropriate words, phrases, and images that can be offensive to others. Any words, phrases, and images that are offensive to another’s ancestry, including color and perceived race, nationality or national origin, ethnic background or origin, religion or creed, sexual orientation, and physical or mental disabilities
- Promotion of narcotics and/or alcohol
- Promotion of violent or illegal activities
- Gang related clothing, colors, and symbols
The school reserves the right to request changes in any manner of dress that is deemed inappropriate. Students can expect that they will be spoken to in private about the concerns regarding the dress code. The principal will make the final determination of “appropriate” clothing. Should students not comply with a request to change parents/guardians will be contacted by school administration.
