STUDENT DRESS CODE

Effective September 1, 2007 

 

The North 13th Street Campus Student Dress Code was implemented to maintain a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment and to model good citizenship.  All clothing should be appropriate to a school setting and weather conditions.  Students are required to use good judgment, to respect themselves and others, and to demonstrate modesty in selecting attire.  Both students and parents share the responsibility for the student’s attire because clothing often sets the tone for academics and behavior.

 

Clothing may not advertise, condone, depict, or promote the use of alcohol, tobacco, and/or drugs; also prohibited is clothing with vulgar or obscene language, or with images or writings that promote a disruption of the educational setting.  The school administration has the authority to determine if a student is wearing attire that is appropriate for a school setting and if not, deny admission on that day or until which time appropriate clothing is acquired.
