Dress Code & Consequences

Dress Code:
Our goals are to promote a safe and positive learning environment. Apparel (clothing, jewelry, and
accessories) that disrupts or distracts from the learning environment is not permitted.

Guidelines:

• Student dress shall be safe and appropriate.
• Footwear must be worn at all times.
• Students must wear shirts at all times.
• Articles of clothing which display profanity, obscenity, vulgarity, weapons, any other questionable
  printing; slogans which promote tobacco, alcohol, drugs, or sex, or materially interfere with
  schoolwork, or create disorder, or disruption in the educational process, are not allowed.
• Shirts must cover the stomach and chest.
• Apparel that is see-through, strapless, backless, or with extended drop armholes may not be worn to
  school.
• Clothing must cover buttocks completely at all times.
• No “sagging” pants (pants must be secure at the waist) or “hanging” belts.
• Any clothing/accessory determined to be a safety issue by administration will be disallowed.
• Apparel related to gangs is forbidden (see details below)
• Hats, hood or sunglasses in the classroom are disallowed indoors.
• Gang Symbols/Clothing/Accessories
• Clothing, jewelry, accessories, symbols, hairstyles, hair bands, wristbands, lettering, colors,
  notebooks, drawings or other adornments which displays, promotes, advertises, suggests, supports
  or encourages membership in or affinity for gangs is prohibited. The “flashing” of colors or gestures is
  not allowed. Clothing, backpacks, shoes, laces, make-up and other adornment may not demonstrate
  or suggest gang-related symbols or colors.
• This policy shall be applied at the discretion of the administration. Because symbols of gang affiliationchange, school officials will work with the Fairfield Police to update the definition and enforcement of gang-related items and colors.
