Dress Code

A dress code has been established to foster a positive learning environment for all. Students have the right to dress in a manner that celebrates their racial, cultural, religious, and gender identities, and that reflects their gender expression (including gender neutrality). The dress code will be equally enforced without regard to body shape or size.

Students must not wear any apparel or jewelry that by words, signs, pictures, or any combination thereof appearing on said clothing or jewelry advocates or promotes sexual activity or violence, or the use of alcohol or drugs or demeans or degrades another because of race, sex, gender (including gender identity or expression), religion, national origin or disability.

School principals are authorized to establish within their school an additional dress code, or a uniform policy. Schools that implement a prescribed dress or uniform policy at school or school sponsored events will maintain one list of appropriate attire for all students. Students who are experiencing homelessness under the McKinney-Vento Act or educational instability under Act 1 will be provided with assistance in obtaining a uniform. Individual school dress code provisions must be consistent with Board Policy 221 (Dress Code) and the Code of Student Conduct.
