Uniform and Dress Code Information

Dress and Grooming

Grooming Standards

Students should maintain personal hygiene and grooming habits that reflect readiness for school and work. This includes clean clothing, moderate scents, and hairstyles or grooming that do not disrupt the learning environment or create safety concerns.

Special Events and Exceptions

• Administrators may set specific dress guidelines for events, performances, spirit days, sports uniforms, or field trips.
• Students engaged in workplace or industry training must follow all relevant expectations for dress, grooming, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
• Reasonable accommodations will be made for students’ religious, cultural, or medical needs. Please contact a campus administrator for assistance.

Head and Facial Coverings

Head coverings may be worn while passing between buildings, but must be removed indoors unless required for religious or medical reasons. School or district administration may require documentation to support religious or medical exemptions. Headbands that are no wider than three inches may be worn throughout the school day.

Facial coverings are not permitted unless required for a documented medical condition.

Backpacks

All backpacks must be clear or mesh. 

Not Permitted at Any Grade Level

• Clothing with images, logos, or language that is offensive, vulgar, sexually suggestive, or promotes drugs, alcohol, weapons, tobacco, violence, or illegal activity. See policy FNCF(LEGAL).
• Bottoms with holes, tears, frays, or cuts that reveal skin above the knee.
• Torn or see-through clothing.
• Gang-related symbols or paraphernalia as identified by local law enforcement or school officials.
• Pajamas, slippers, blankets, or items intended for sleepwear.
• Clothing or accessories that expose undergarments, including sagging pants and sheer fabrics without appropriate layers.
• Items that present safety risks, such as chains, spikes, or accessories that could be used as weapons.

Compliance

Students must comply with the dress code at all times while on campus, attending school functions, or representing the school in any capacity.

Enforcement

When a student’s attire or grooming violates the dress code, they will be asked to correct it in a respectful and discreet manner. Options may include, but are not limited to, changing into appropriate attire, adjusting the item, calling home for a change of clothes, etc. Repeated or serious violations may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Final decisions about dress code concerns will be made by campus administrators, using professional judgment and the standards outlined above.
