Appropriate
dress and personal grooming are required of each student as a vital
part of maintaining the educational environment. Modes of grooming or
styles of attire which detract from a good teaching/learning situation
are not acceptable. It is required that coats and backpacks are secured
in lockers upon arrival to school and remain there until the end of the
school day. Extremes shall be avoided in all areas of dress and grooming
including body piercing. (Body piercing, except for ears, is prohibited
in elementary and middle schools.) All decisions about appropriate
dress and grooming will be made by the schools’ administrators. Students
in violation of the dress code will be asked to correct the violation
prior to returning to the classroom and could face further disciplinary
action.
