Additional Dress Code Guidelines
2022-2023
• When buying school clothes please adhere to the above unified dress code policy. This policy
is in place to promote single school culture, safety, and equity for all students. It is the parent’s
responsibility to make sure their student follows this policy as it was developed to allow
flexibility in choosing preferred colors and styles to allow for individuality.
• Students NOT in dress code will be given the choice of borrowing clothing from the school or
calling their parents to bring a change of clothes. We have a limited supply of items to borrow
so the best choice is to come in dress code so parent calls aren’t required.
• Hats and hoods are NOT to be worn on campus.
• In the event of a medical issue (example - broken foot, surgery) please contact our school
nurse so that exceptions can be made to the dress code.
• Cellphones, Earbuds/Headphones/Air Pods or any other electronic devices (other than your
school issued Chromebook) are to only be used with permission and should be kept in a safe
place in the students backpack at all times. Electronic devices are the responsibility of the
student whether it personal or School District issued. Please refer to the Technology use
agreement for additional information regarding School District issue electronic devices.
• FRIDAYS are AVID college shirt days. All students are encouraged to wear college shirts!
• Students who do not follow the Dress Code are subject to disciplinary action in alignment with
the Student Code of Conduct.
• We are looking forward to an amazing year and the opportunities to have fun and reward
students with breaks from the unified dress code. Details will be provided on those occasions.
- Anything not specifically addressed in this dress code policy may not be worn. The final decisions regarding all dress code compliance issues will be made by the principal/designee
