PERSONAL APPEARANCE POLICY

Neatness, cleanliness and modesty in dress are standards that all students should strive for.  Any student who does not meet these minimal standards will be subject to disciplinary action.  All students must keep in mind the following requirements:

1.      The health and safety of the student(s) must not be jeopardized.

2.      Dress and grooming must be neat and clean.

3.      Students’ dress and appearance must not distract from the educational process.

4.      Certain types of clothing are more likely to substantially disrupt the functioning of the school, and are therefore inappropriate in the school setting.  Examples of inappropriate dress include the following:  see-through clothing, short shorts, hats, bandannas, bare backs, bare midriffs, soiled or torn clothes, and inappropriate printed material or graphics displayed on clothing.  Students will be asked to remove or change the inappropriate article of clothing.  Refusal to do so will result in the student being sent home.
