Student Dress

Students are reminded that their appearance significantly affects the way others respond to them. Matters of dress remain the primary responsibility of students, in consultation with their parents or legal guardians. Nevertheless, certain minimum standards shall be observed by all students.

The administration shall establish procedures for the monitoring of student dress in school or while engaging in extracurricular activities. Specifics regarding this policy may be found in the student handbook.

Students attending public events sponsored by the school district are permitted to honor their American Indian heritage through the display of culturally significant tribal regalia at a public event sponsored by the school district.  Any item that promotes drug use, weapon use, threats of violence, sexual harassment, bullying, or other intimidation, or violates another district policy, state, or federal law may not be worn at a public event sponsored by the school district.
