• Dress Code

    Leon County School Board has established a reasonable dress code in order to promote a safe and healthy school setting and enhance the educational environment.  While personal style and individual preferences are different, all students are expected to dress appropriately for school based on the guidelines provided. 

    All clothing must cover all aspects of the bosom, chest, stomach, and back. A jacket or covering may be worn to correct the inappropriate clothing.

    All bottoms (pants, shorts, skirts) should fit appropriately, i.e., not tight, not sagging and should not reveal undergarments at any time; this includes bottoms with holes.

    Pajamas are ONLY allowed for school spirit days.

    Shoes are required and must be safe for school activities. Bedroom shoes and house slippers are not permitted.

    Head coverings and sunglasses are not permitted in classrooms. Sunglasses are also not permitted inside the building.

    Attire and jewelry must not be sexually suggestive or feature crude or vulgar commercial lettering, printing, or drawings which would be offensive or insensitive. They may not depict drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or be indicative of gang membership. (Leon County School Board Policy 5511)

    A student may receive one written warning recorded as a minor infraction. When necessary, the student will receive a proper change of clothing from the office to wear for the remainder of the school day any time he/she is dress coded.

    Failure to follow the dress code will result in the following consequences as outlined in the Progressive Discipline Plan located in the Student Code of Conduct:

    1st Offense - The student will be given one lunch detention and parent contact will be made. 

    2nd Offense - The student will be given two lunch detentions and parent contact will be made. 

    3rd Offense - The student will be given 1 day of ISS and parent contact will be made.

    4th Offense - The student will be given 2 days of ISS and parent contact will be made.

    5th Offense - The student will be given 1 - 3 days of OSS and parent contact will be made.

     

    Note: Accommodations to the dress code will be considered for medical, cultural, and/or religious reasons.
