DRESS
CODE from the Middle School Handbook
The following dress code is
planned to have the students best exemplify the spirit and
pride involved
in being part of their school. It is further designed to cause
fewer distractions, thereby permitting the maximum learning
for all students. The District prohibits pictures, emblems,
or writings on clothing that are lewd, offensive, vulgar,
or obscene or that depict or advertise tobacco products, alcoholic
beverages of any kind, drugs, or any other substance prohibited

prohibits any dress or grooming that, in the principal's judgment,
may reasonably be expected to interfere with normal school
operations.
