Dress Code
Dressing appropriately for all school functions is a way of showing personal and organization pride. Neatness and cleanliness are the hallmarks of appropriate dress. Good judgment in dress is expected.
In an effort to promote a safe and educationally sound environment for students, the following dress code is in effect at all times at school and at school-related functions:
- Students must wear clothes that cover the area from armpit to armpit.
- Clothing bottoms must be down to 3-4 inches in length on the upper thighs. Volleyball shorts are not permitted.
- Clothing tops must have straps that are at least 2 inches wide.
- While crop tops are permitted, no more than 2 inches of midriff should be exposed.
- All undergarments must be covered.
- Undergarment straps and sports bras must be covered by a shirt.
- Hoods on shirts must be down.
- Hats are permitted, but staff must be able to see student’s ears as earbuds are not allowed.
- Offensive language (profanity, sexually explicit, drugs/alcohol) or graphics depicting alcohol on clothing is not allowed
Students in violation of the dress code will contact parents for a change of clothing or will be provided with school-issued clothing. Students will not be allowed to return to class until the violation has been corrected.
Repeated violations will result in disciplinary actions.
Dress Code Guidance in Jeffco
Responsibility for student dress and appearance generally rests with individual students and their families. Students may wish to express themselves by the manner of their dress and appearance; however, students shall not wear clothing or affect an appearance at school or school-sanctioned activities or events that is disruptive to the educational environment. Jeffco Public Schools standards on student attire are intended to help students focus on schoolwork, reduce discipline problems, and improve school order and safety.
Disciplinary action for violating the student dress code shall include notifying the student of the violation and requiring that the dress or appearance be corrected before the student reenters the classroom, school environment, or school-sanctioned activity or event. At the discretion of the building-level administrator, a family conference may be held. More serious consequences may result from repeated or serious violations.
