The district’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, to prevent disruptions, and to minimize safety hazards. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards provided that they comply with the expectation and requirement to dress in a neat and orderly fashion. The following guidelines are offered and subject to revision throughout the school year:

• Sleeveless shirts/blouses, tank tops, halters, see-through blouses, or tops with low neck lines are not permitted. All shirts/blouses must have sleeves, short or long. “Cold-shoulder” or “cut-out shoulder” shirts are allowed but must have a minimum of 2 inches of material from the neckline to the open shoulder.
• Midriffs and backs must not be exposed; tops must be long enough to tuck into pants when arms are raised.
• Jeggings and / or leggings are not considered a pant. They may be worn under an appropriate length dress/skirt.
• Jeans or other apparel should not be deliberately mutilated. Any holes that are above the knee should be patched and jeans should be properly hemmed.
• Jeans or pants should fit and should be worn at the waist. They should not be wider than the foot at the cuff and should not be longer than the bottom of the heel.
• Inappropriate patches, pictures, symbols, writing, slogans, or quotes-either attached to or painted on clothing-are not to be worn.
