DRESS AND GROOMING CODE "Uniform Code of Discipline"
School personnel are responsible for the health and safety
of each student while at school and for the preservation of an
atmosphere which is conducive to learning. Students are expected and
required to maintain a standard of personal appearance which is clean,
neat, reasonable, and not disruptive to the learning environment.
Effective at the start of the 2003-2004 school year and prior to
October 1st of each year it shall be mandatory for all
students to wear student uniforms during the regular school day. The
educational divisions shall consist of grades, Elementary (K-5),
exception is Boynton Montessori Program (K-6), Middle (6-8), and High
School (9-12). The colors and styles of uniforms for each educational
division was determined by the Superintendent’s Advisory Council.
Uniforms selected by the Superintendent or designee shall be based
upon safety and health considerations and upon a concern for promoting
the educational activities within the respective schools.
It is expressly
understood that no hats are to be worn in the school buildings during
the school day. Clothing should be size appropriate for the
individual and shirttails should be worn inside one’s pants or skirt.
The principal or
designee has full authority to take prudent action to enforce this
policy. The principal will attempt to resolve the violations of the
policy by holding a conference with the student involved. If this
conference does not bring about the desired change, the principal or
designee may suspend the student to ISS pending a conference with the
parents or guardian.
The Superintendent
shall develop rules and regulations for the enforcement of this
policy.
