Dress Code Reminder
Parent's,
As the weather warms up, please help us remind your students to dress appropriately for school. The following is the Alpine School District Dress Code:
Dress Code
“The Alpine School District Board of Education requires all of its students to conform to standards that avoid extremes and that exemplify personal cleanliness. Any personal appearance in either clothing style or personal grooming is prohibited if:
It tends to cause a material and substantial disruption of the educational process in the school.
It would endanger the health, safety or welfare of either the student or others.
It does not conform to generally accepted community standards or it calls undue attention to the anatomical details of the individual.
It does not conform to the requirements of a special class or activity approved by the school principal which requires special dress or grooming and in which the student expects to participate.
It appears as an obvious attempt to challenge the intent and scope of the policy or the authority of the school in its reasonable interpretation and enforcement.” (See Alpine School District Policy 5152)
Please avoid the following:
- Clothing, badges, jewelry, or appearance that denotes gang involvement or affiliation.
- Clothing with profane, obscene or sexually suggestive images and/or messages.
- Apparel, jewelry, or accessories that advertise or advocate drugs, alcohol, tobacco or other prohibited substances.
- Shirts that are low cut, midriff, strapless, and sleeveless.
- Shorts or skirts that are shorter than mid thigh length.
Final decisions regarding appropriate attire will be made by the administration. Students who break the dress code will be asked to change into suitable attire. Repeat offenders, or those who refuse to comply, may be subject to parental conference and/or suspension.
