We expect our students to “dress for success”. Student dress may not present a health or a safety hazard, violate municipal, county, or state law, or present a potential disruption of the educational process. Generally, we do not allow:

Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be fingertip length. Shorts may be mid-thigh with leggings or opaque tights beneath.
Students will not be allowed to sag (allow their pants to be so baggy that they hang or will not stay up on the waist); underwear may not show.
Only hemmed shorts and skirts may be worn.
Intentionally frayed or holes in pants may not expose skin above fingertip length. Students must wear leggings or tights to conceal skin above the knee. Holes or frays below the knee that expose skin are permissible.
Bare midriffs, halter-tops, tank tops, spaghetti straps, Spandex as outerwear, and any see-through clothing are not acceptable. Shirts, tops, sweaters, and blouses must be designed to be modest and non-revealing. The straps on shirt tops must be at least shoulder width, or three fingers' width, and bra straps may not show.
Pajamas of any type (tops or bottoms) are not allowed.
Leggings/jeggings must be completely opaque (not see-through) and fit student appropriately.
Bare feet are never acceptable. In the interest of student safety, you must wear shoes at all times. Closed shoes are required for any type of physical activity.
Jewelry shall not be worn if it presents a safety hazard to self and/or others. This includes safety pins, sharp or pointed items, dog collars, etc.
Profane or defamatory writing on clothing or jewelry is not acceptable.
No bandannas of any color, size, or shape may be carried, worn, or displayed on any school property or at any school activity. This also includes simulations of anything representing "colors." Bandannas are expressly prohibited due to their use as an expression of gang affiliation.
Hats are not permitted in the school building or classrooms unless for a sponsored activity. No headwear may be worn in a building except for properly approved occupational safety headgear required for special classes or special activities authorized by the principal.
Gang-related personalization is not permitted on hats, on items of clothing, or on one's person. This includes anything worn or carried on campus, including items with price tags attached.
Any clothing or the way clothing is worn that is disruptive to educational activities is not acceptable.
Obscene language or symbols, or symbols of drugs, tobacco, sex, violence, weapons, satanic symbols, blood, or alcohol on clothing are expressly prohibited.
Sunglasses are not permitted to be worn while in buildings.
Students may have no more than one facial piercing in the triangle zone of the face.
Shirts, coats, and tops of any kind may not be worn in such a manner as to conceal inappropriate clothing or to provide concealment for items not allowed at school (electronic devices, weapons, substances, etc.) No trench coats or similar garments allowed.
Any type of chain material that may be used as a weapon is not allowed.
