Student Dress Code
  • Shoes shall be worn at all times.  Bedroom shoes and athletic sandals are not appropriate for school wear.  Very thin, beach flip-flops may not be worn.

  • Clothing or ornamentation displaying or advertising substances and activities that are illegal for minors is prohibited.  Suggestive phrases, designs, markings, or profanities are also prohibited.

  • Short and skirt length must be at least to the tip of the longest finger when the student is standing straight.  If the dress/skirt has a slit, the highest point of the slit must meet the  fingertip rule.  When a student drops his/her hands by their side, their fingers should be touching fabric.  Inappropriate shorts/pants  include bike shorts, cut-offs that are not hemmed, cut off sweat pants, umbros, "spandex" pants, sweat pants/shorts, boxer shorts, physical education or work-out shorts such as basketball shorts, and shorts with holes.  Athletic pants/shorts may be worn in physical education.

  • All shirts and/or dresses must have sleeves.  No midriff shirts, blouses or  tops are permitted.  The midriff (stomach area) must be covered even when the arms are raised.  See through tops may only be worn if the clothing underneath meets the dress code.  Wearing a jacket over a tank top is only acceptable if you cannot tell that a sleeveless shirt is being worn underneath.  Necklines should not encourage others to stare.

  • Appropriate undergarments are required, and should not be seen.

  • In the building, students are expected to remove sunglasses, hats, caps, bandanas, visors,  sweatbands, hoods, scarves or other items covering the head and store them in their locker. The exception to this would be on an announced spirit “Hat Day”.

  • Pants or jeans with holes or tears above the knee are prohibited.  Pajama pants are not    appropriate school attire.  Tightly fitted knit pants should not be worn to school.  Words should not be printed on the seat of pants.

  • Pants or jeans are to be worn at the natural waistline and be held up if needed by a belt.

  • Clothing, make-up or hairstyles which, in the judgment of the school, call undue attention to an individual or interferes with the planned educational program may not be worn to school.  The school reserves the right to make  judgments in individual cases.

 

If there is a question about the appropriateness of a students’ attire, he/she will be referred to an administrator.  If it is determined that the garment is offensive or inappropriate, the student will be asked to change clothes.  If the student cannot obtain a change of clothes, he/she will be isolated for the remainder of the school day.  Upon the 3rd dress code violation, the student will be assigned to In-school  suspension.

 

 

 

These guidelines should assist you with back to school shopping.  Students grow tremendously during their middle school years.  You may want to consider growth as you purchase clothing for school.  The purpose of the middle school dress code is to promote a safe environment, free from distractions to learning.
