ATTIRE AND HYGIENE POLICY
Second Reading 4/20/22
The attire and hygiene of each student in the school system are the responsibility of the student
and his/her parent(s)/guardian(s).
Each student is expected to dress and groom his/herself for the business of school in a manner
that does not distract other students or teachers, or disrupt the educational process.
If the attire or hygiene of a student is distracting, disruptive to the educational process,
unhygienic, a threat to the health or safety of any individual, or considered to be profane,
obscene, discriminatory, violent, or promoting the use of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or firearms,
the student will be referred to the school administration or nurse. The student and/or his/her
parents/guardian will be required to take appropriate action to rectify the situation before the
student is allowed to return to the classroom.
Students who represent the school/district will be required to conform to attire and hygiene
standards as approved by the school administration and may be denied the opportunity to
participate if those standards are not met.
Appeal Process
A dress code decision may be appealed by the student or his/her parent(s)/guardian(s) as
follows:
1. discuss the decision with the person(s) who made it. If not satisfied with the response,
then
2. provide a written appeal to the principal demonstrating that a policy and/or regulation
was unfairly applied. The appeal will be reviewed by the principal with a written
response provided within three working days. If not satisfied with this response, then
3. present a written appeal to the Superintendent who will review and provide a final
decision within five working days.
