Dress Code

In accordance with board policy and the Education Code 35183, 35183.5, 48907, 49066 and Code of Regulations Title 5, 302 both students and staff of the school campus have the constitutional right to be safe and secure in their schools. Students will come to school having paid proper attention to their personal cleanliness and neatness of dress.

A student may not attend classes in a manner which:

  1. Creates a safety hazard
  2. Distracts from learning
  3. Disrupts any school activity

Responsibilities

Parents have the responsibility to see that students are dressed properly for school. School personnel are responsible for maintaining and enforcing an appropriate dress code conducive to learning.

The following guidelines are designed to help reduce potential problems on campus and provide a positive learning environment.

Dress Code Guidelines

The following are NOT permitted on campus:

  • Dresses and shorts which are shorter than mid-thigh. (The “fingertip” rule does not apply.)
  • Spaghetti straps (no straps smaller than 2" or the width of a credit card) or halter tops.
  • Clothing or accessories which are provocative (no bare midriff, off the shoulder, low cut tops or pants)
  • Clothing or accessories which identify a student with non-school clubs, profanity, obscenity, reference to drugs, alcohol, tobacco, gangs (excessive color) or prison culture by style, name or insignia.
  • Attire with writing that degrades individuals or groups.
  • Body piercing that creates a safety hazard. (Moderate-sized earrings are acceptable.)

Additional Dress Code Guidelines and Procedures
