STUDENT DRESS AND
APPEARANCE
While it is appreciated that choice of attire and grooming are matters of expression and are subject to many societal forces, many schools require students to appear fully clothed and groomed in an appropriate manner consonant with the establishment and continuance of a proper atmosphere for learning in every school.
Any article of clothing or manner of style or make-up determined by the teachers and principals to be disruptive of the learning environment, destructive to school property or hazardous to the health and safety of the child, students in general, and/or teachers, is not allowed.
Good grooming is stressed at all times by schools and adopted dress codes are normally placed in all student handbooks every year.
Schools realize that the majority of students do dress tastefully, with originality, grace and charm, and taking pride in individual grooming when attending school
SOME GUIDELINES ON DRESS/ GROOMING AT SCHOOL
-
All styles of dress and
grooming shall avoid causing a campus or classroom
disturbance.
-
All students must be
personally clean and neat in body and in clothing.
-
Only accessories which are
not distracting, unsafe, or unhealthy be used.
-
All students must wear shoes
at all times while at school.
- No student on or about school
property should wear, possess, use, distribute,
display or sell any clothing, jewelry, emblem, badge,
symbol, sign or other thing which may be considered
"gang related".
-
Offenders of the 'dress and
grooming regulations' should be dealt with fairly and
decisively. Counseling, by counselors or
administrators, should be the first step towards
effecting a change. Should violations occur, calling
in parents may become necessary. Consistent failure to
follow regulations may result in more serious
disciplinary action.
-
All students must follow
specific regulations, which may be more stringent for
instructional purposes than the general code.
