| DRESS CODE |
 |
General Information |
The dress or grooming of a student should be neat and clean and not disruptive to the classroom atmosphere, educational process, or unusually distracting to the opposite sex. Students should wear clothing as designed to be worn; pants and skirts must be worn at waist level. Students violating the dress code will be sent to the office to call their parents and request a change of clothing when necessary. The student may be issued a detention for repeated violation of the dress code policy. Repeated violations are considered defiance and may result in a referral to the school’s Intervention and Appeals Committee.
The administration shall be the final judge as to the neatness and cleanliness of wearing apparel and whether or not such apparel is appropriate, disruptive, distracting, or in violation of health and safety rules.
The fundamental middle school has dress requirements that are supplemental to the Code of Student Conduct.
