Student Dress Code
AR 5132
The following should give guidance to administrators, teachers, students, and parents in adhering to
the Student Dress and Grooming Policy.
It is the responsibility of the parent/guardian to see that a student is acceptably dressed for attending
school. The student should dress in a manner which abides by community and school standards.
Attention should always be given to neatness, cleanliness, and safety. Dress should also avoid
extremes that bring undue attention to the student, and in doing so, disrupts the educational process.
1. Shirts/Blouses/Tops/T-shirts
a. All shirts and blouses must cover midriff, back, sides, and all undergarments, including
bras, at all times.
b. No exposed waist, hips, midriff, or chest
c. No halter tops, strapless tops, spaghetti straps, see-through tops, backless tops, tube
tops, or low-cut tops
d. Tank top straps must be at least two inches wide
2. Skirts/Dresses/Shorts
a. Skirts, dresses, and shorts must be at least fingertip length
b. Skirt slits must be mid-thigh or lower

No bathing suits
No large, long and/or heavy chains
No studded accessories
No clothing , backpacks, notebooks, patches, buttons, jewelry, or arm bands with
letters, pictures, or insignias that contain racial, ethnic, or religious slurs, and profane,
vulgar, sexually suggestive, or advertise alcohol, tobacco products, or drugs
i. No clothing suggestive of gang or drug culture
6. Safety is always a concern, and teachers of activity classes where long hair and loose fitting
clothing present a possible safety hazard may require that safety measures be taken. This
may include wearing hair nets, hop coats, and tying hair back or other appropriate measures
necessary to assure student safety. Because of the vigorous physical activities experienced at
the elementary school level, sandals, flip-flops, and clogs are inappropriate in kindergarten
through sixth grade.
7. Athletic coaches or other teachers of classes or activities that represent the school may require
more specific dress than those specified in this directive
8. The Governing Board and district staff desire to keep district schools free from the threats or
harmful influence of any groups or gangs which advocate or engage in drug use, violence, or
disruptive behavior. Gangs which initiate, advocate, or promote activities which threaten the
safety or well being of persons or property on or about school grounds, or which disrupt the
school environment are harmful to and interfere with the educational process.
Any apparel, jewelry, accessory, notebook, or manner of grooming which, by virtue of its color,
arrangement, trademark, or any other attribute, denotes membership in such a group as
described above, or any attempt to create territorial control at any district facility is hereby
prohibited. The site administrator may prohibit specific clothing which is determined by the
school districted or site to be gang-related or inappropriate apparel.
Any student wearing or carrying overt gang paraphernalia or clothing, or making gestures that
symbolize gang membership, shall be referred to the principal/designee. The student’s
parent/guardian shall be contacted, and the student sent home to change clothes if necessary.
The enforcement of the district dress standards is the responsibility of classroom teachers and
school administrators. Each parent and student shall be made aware of the school dress code
through distribution of appropriate written material. It is expected that few problems will arise if
students and parents are aware of the rules. Regular office referral procedures will be used in
enforcing these rules.

may be prohibited by the dress code policy.
