2.100 Student Dress
All students are expected to dress and groom themselves neatly in clothes that are suitable for school. School personnel reserve the right to determine if an individual studentís clothing is appropriate for school.

It is evident that sloppy and other inappropriate dress detracts from the learning environment which schools work hard to develop and maintain. Clothing must be appropriate for school and should foster learning.

In keeping with these concerns the following guideline have been established:

1. Attire should not have vulgar or detracting language or pictures. No. alcohol, drug, or tobacco advertising;
2. tank tops, halter tops, spaghetti strap tops alone, are not appropriate;
3. bare midriffs are not appropriate;
4. torn clothing is not appropriate;
5. short shorts, bicycling shorts and boxer shorts are never appropriate;
6. all clothing should be worn as designed to be worn;
7. hats may not be worn in buildings;
8. any clothing that is symbolic of gang membership is not appropriate;
9. any clothing that creates a disturbance is not appropriate;
10. shoes are required at all times;
11. wearing of chains is prohibited;
12. dresses with spaghetti straps must only be worn in combination with a capped sleeve shirt;
13. all pants must fit around the waist. A belt of appropriate length may be worn to ensure the pant fits appropriately. Sagging pants are not appropriate.

Students who choose to wear inappropriate clothing will be required to change clothes and/or wear a belt or tuck in the shirt. Any time missed from school by having to leave to change clothes will be considered an unexcused absence, and the time missed will be made up in ISS.
