Dress Code Guidelines
Please be mindful of the school’s dress code that is listed in the student agenda and the District’s Code of Conduct. We will follow the “skin test” or “fingertip rule” described below to determine if skirts and shorts are the appropriate length. We ask for your cooperation in allowing your child to do the “skin test” at home when you have concerns about whether the length of the clothing is appropriate for school.
Excerpt from Student Agenda/Student Code of Conduct:
Shorts, skirts, etc., must be long enough so that when hands are extended by the side (skin test), the student does not touch skin.
Tank tops (halter tops and spaghetti straps included) are not allowed. All shirt straps must be at least the width of two fingers.
We will follow the recommendations from the District’s Code of Conduct when students do not follow the dress code.
Thank you for your continued support!
