Highlights of UPDATED Middle Level Dress Code for 2014-2015
The purpose of the Dress Code is to encourage students to focus on the learning process without the distractions of unsuitable dress and grooming. Students shall maintain a clean, orderly appearance at all times. The responsibility for the personal appearance of the student rests with the parent/guardian and the student. Personal appearance shall not disrupt the
educational process. A student who is dressed appropriately is demonstrating a respect for self and others, as well as contributing to a safe and orderly learning environment. The following establishes the minimum acceptable standards for student dress to be interpreted and enforced by the principal or designee. Each principal has the authority with his or her staff
and community, as permitted by School Board policy, to establish additional standards at individual schools.

Apparel shall be adequate in both length and coverage to be considered appropriate for school

Shirts must cover shoulders

No tank tops, spaghetti straps, muscle shirts, racer back tops, or sleeveless


Skirt, short, or dress length must touch at the knee

Pants, jeans, and shorts must be free of holes and tears and shall be worn fastened and at the waist
with no undergarments showing.
