Dress Code
You are expected to dress appropriately for school and for the task of learning with proper attention given to personal cleanliness, grooming, and neatness. If your personal attire or grooming distracts the attention of other students or teachers from their schoolwork, disrupts educational activities and processes of the school, or is a potential safety hazard, you will be required to make the necessary alterations to such attire or grooming before entering the classroom or you may be assigned to In-School Suspension (ISS). If you fail to meet the minimum acceptable standards of cleanliness, neatness, proper fit, safety and decency as determined by the principal or designee and as specified in the District Code of Student Conduct, you will be subject to appropriate disciplinary measures. Additionally, students are prohibited from wearing clothing that exposes underwear or body parts in an indecent or vulgar manner or attire that disrupts the orderly learning environment.
Apparel that violates this dress code will result in the removal of the student from the regular school environment until acceptable apparel may be secured. Students who violate the district’s dress code policy will be subject to the following consequences in addition to other appropriate administrative action:
a. First offense: the student shall be given a verbal warning, and the school principal or designee will call the student’s parent/guardian.
b. Second and third offense: the student will receive a detention (2nd) or extra school (3rd) and is ineligible to participate in any applicable extracurricular activity for a period of time not to exceed 5 days and the school principal or designee shall meet with the student’s parent or guardian.
c. Fourth offense: the student shall receive an ISS pursuant to s. 1003.01(5) for a period not to exceed 3 days. The student is ineligible to participate in any extracurricular activities for a period not to exceed 30 days. The school principal or designee will call the student’s parent/guardian and send a written letter regarding the student’s ISS and ineligibility to participate in extracurricular activities.
The school Principal or Designee will be the final judge as to whether a student’s clothing is appropriate for school, creates a climate that is distracting to learning, or is a potential safety hazard. Principals, faculty, and staff members will enforce the dress code. Individual schools may have additional requirements if supported by a majority of School Advisory Council (SAC) members, and if parents are notified in writing of the changes.
