Appropriate Dress
 
  • Students are to dress in an appropriate manner for the environment at all times, realizing they are in a public school setting. Pajamas are not acceptable apparel. Clothes should not expose undergarments and should not promote alcohol, drugs, profanity, sex, violence, racism or discrimination of any kind. 
 
  • Bandanas are not permitted. These are often made of a triangular or square piece of cloth and frequently printed in a paisley pattern; they may be knotted behind the head or tied around an arm or leg, or tied to a piece of clothing. This is an accessory we do not permit at school. It is considered inappropriate as this attire has an association with gangs.  Our communication with the community police supports this association in that a bandana of a specific color or pattern will often be worn as a means of communicating or identifying with a gang or group involved in illegal activity.
 
  • Headbands are permitted as they are a clothing accessory worn in the hair or around the forehead, usually to hold hair back from the eyes. Headbands generally consist of a loop of elastic material or a horseshoe-shaped piece of plastic or metal.
 
  • ​Head coverings, including hoods, are to be removed by both males and females upon entering the building unless a religious or medical reason has been previously presented and accepted by the administration.
