A student's clothing should be comfortable, suitable to the weather, and allow for maximum learning. Clothing which is not socially appropriate (dirty, skimpy, etc.) will make it more difficult for the student to adjust to school and enjoy the society of the classroom. Shoes with cleats damage the floors and are not allowed at school. For safety reasons open toed shoes are not appropriate at school. A tennis shoe or sturdy shoe with a closed toe is appropriate. Hats, headbands, bandanas, and visors may not be worn in the building. Non-permanent hair dye is not permitted at school.
Parents are asked to use good judgment in dressing students for school. Students in grades K-5 are allowed to wear shorts. However, students need to be particularly aware of presenting themselves in dress to others in a way that is in keeping with their development. The wearing of tank tops, tube tops, halters, or other clothing, which could be suggestive, is not appropriate for school. Bare midriffs and very short skirts or shorts are not permitted.
School Board policy states that “the wearing of or absence of any item of clothing which will distract from the learning process of other students or with offensive words or design or the advertisement of alcohol or drugs will not he tolerated."
If a student comes to school in clothing which creates a disruption in the learning environment, he/she will be asked to call his/her parents to bring something more acceptable.
