Board Policy 5132(a) : The Board of Trustees believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment.  The Board expects students to give proper attention to personal cleanliness and to wear clothes that are suitable for the school activities in which they participate.  Students’ clothing may not present a health or safety hazard or create a distraction which would interfere with the educational process.  Students and parents/guardians shall be informed about dress and grooming standards at the beginning of the year and whenever these standards are revised.

  • All clothing must be clean, suitable, and appropriate for school activities, including PE and recess.
  • Shirts should be long enough to cover bellies when hands are raised.
