    Dress and Grooming (All Grade Levels)

    The district’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, prevent disruption, and minimize safety hazards. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following:

    Clothing

    1. All clothing must be neat, clean, modest, and fit (not too tight or oversized) in proportion to the student.
    2. Any shirt that displays undergarments and/or torso is prohibited.
    3. Pants, trousers, or shorts will be worn at or above the waist and fastened appropriately.
