Middle and High Schools
Students will not be permitted to remain in class or at school sponsored functions in attire, which draws such attention to themselves that it disrupts general decorum, interferes with the intended function of the school or school activity, or creates potential health or safety hazards. Neatness and cleanliness of personal attire and hygiene is required at all times.
Parents/guardians are expected to illustrate concern, provide guidance and have knowledge of what their child is wearing.
Below are guidelines for students to help them avoid attire, which interferes with the learning environment. Examples include but are not limited to the following:

1. Clothing that is revealing or is suggestive may not be worn. Tube tops, tank tops, halter tops, midriffs, see through clothing, bicycle pants (long or short), boxer shorts, jeans that lace up to the waist without a stitched seam underneath and sagging pants are not considered suitable school wear. Pants must be worn at the waist at all times. Appropriate length for shorts, skirts, and dresses will be determined by building principals (but must be no more than 6 inches from the middle of the knee cap.)

2. Chains will not be worn in the building.

3. Headgear may not be worn in the building. Hats, caps and hair rollers will not be permitted. Sunglasses and dark glasses, unless prescription, are considered inappropriate attire.

4. Other inappropriate school attire includes: gloves, pajamas and clothing with vulgar, profane, and ethnically derogatory messages. This includes messages, pictures, symbols or depictions of gangs, Satanism, illegal substances or alcoholic beverages.

5. Book bags may not be taken into the classroom or library.

6. Coats may not be taken into the classroom or library.

7. Tears/holes in pants may be no more than 6 inches above the middle of the knee cap.

Building administrators or their designees will make individual evaluations to determine if other simiilar items are likely to be disruptive or create a potential health or safety problem in a particular instance.

A good rule of thumb is, "If you have any doubt, don"t wear it!"
