Students are expected to follow the District’s dress and grooming guidelines, as well as any local standards established and approved by the Local School Council at each campus. Students and their parents/guardians are charged with the responsibility of ensuring that modesty, appropriateness and neatness of dress are maintained. The principal and the person in charge of an extracurricular activity may determine the dress and grooming of students participating in the activity. An individual school’s Local School Council may adopt alternative dress standards as long as they remain within the parameters of the District policy.
