Dress Code

Parents/guardians have the primary responsibility to see that students are properly attired for school. School district personnel have the responsibility of maintaining proper and appropriate conditions conducive to learning. Clothes must be worn in a way such that genitals, buttocks, midriffs, breasts, and nipples are fully covered with opaque fabric. All clothing items must meet this basic principle. 

Respect and Professionalism: When students dress appropriately, it contributes to a respectful and orderly learning environment for all students. Just like adults dress professionally for work, students should dress respectfully for school. It shows that they take their education seriously and are ready to learn. The dress code helps reduce distractions. When everyone follows similar guidelines, there is less focus on what others are wearing. This allows students to concentrate better in class and stay focused on their studies.
