We believe that appropriate clothing for school contributes to the child's total attitude. The appearance of the student is a direct reflection of pride in themselves and in their school. Student dress and appearance shall not be hazardous to the health and safety of anyone in the school; nor shall it have a negative effect on or be disruptive to the learning  process. Such apparel includes attire that advertises or displays alcoholic beverages, tobacco products, drugs, inappropriate language or designs, etc. Clothing should be properly fitted and tailored- i.e. worn as it was designed to be worn (straps buckled, waistbands on the waist, etc.) and covering students appropriately (no bare midriffs or backless tops). Footwear must be worn at all times which adequately protects the feet. Toes must be covered and there must be a heel strap. Undergarments are just that and should not be exposed. Hats should not be worn in the classroom.
