We expect our students to dress appropriately for middle school. Appropriate dress will not disrupt the educational process. In an effort to help parents assist their middle school child in making good clothing decisions, we’ve established some clothing standards.

• Clothing or jewelry that refers to or insinuates alcohol, tobacco, or controlled substance use is not appropriate. In addition, clothing that refers to or insinuates sexual, lewd, or discriminatory messages are not appropriate.
• Appropriate clothing fits the student, and does not disrupt the school environment. Clothing that is too tight or exposes undergarments or a midriff is inappropriate for school. Sleeveless shirts must have a shoulder width of 2”, and sufficient to cover undergarments.
• Pants are to be worn in such a way that the student’s underwear is not exposed. Belts may not hang and must be in the belt loops of the pants. Coverall or suspenders must be completely fastened and worn on the shoulders.
• Students are welcome to wear hats to and from school, however caps and hats and head coverings are not permitted during the school day (this includes lunch). Messages on hats are to be appropriate and not gang related.
• Jackets and coats are not to be worn to classes. During the winter, it is recommended that students keep a sweater or non-hooded sweatshirt at school in case of temperature fluctuations.
• Students wearing inappropriate clothing will be referred to the office and a phone call to parents will be made. 1st Option: Students may change the clothing (Such as into their PE Clothes). 2nd Option: parents may be asked to bring replacement clothing.
• Students are not to write or draw on their bodies, nor those of their classmates.
• Skirts and shorts must completely cover the student at least to the mid-thigh.

The above standards are not meant to be inclusive of every clothing contingency. We publish this to assist parents in helping their children to make good clothing decisions. Parents should carefully monitor what students wear and consider the effect their clothing has on their safety. The building administrators will determine if a student’s appearance is disruptive to the learning environment.
