POLICIES AND PROCEDURES
DISTRICT DRESS CODE POLICY
The dress code for Dutch Fork Middle school is determined largely by school district policy. The school may modify the dress code as long as the changes stay within the district guidelines.
● Clothing deemed distracting, revealing, or overly suggestive shall not be permitted.
● Dress or accessories that are considered unsafe, dangerous, a health hazard, or disruptive to the learning environment shall not be permitted. Clothing may not display vulgar symbols or language and may not contain alcohol, tobacco, or drug symbols.
● Sleeveless shirts should be at least ID badge width across the shoulder with no visible undergarments. Bare midriffs, spaghetti straps, halter/tank tops, and see-through shirts/tops/blouses are not permitted.
● Inappropriate tops are not to be worn beneath an overcoat that the student plans to remove.
● Pants must be worn at the natural waistline.
● Sleepwear or slippers may not be worn.
● Hats, head stockings, kerchiefs, bandanas, or bonnets are not allowed at school.
● Shorts or skirts must be at least “fingertip length”. This means that all skirts and shorts (biker shorts) must be as long as the longest finger-tip when hands are placed at the student’s side along the entire hemline.
● Jeans with holes may not have holes that are higher than the student’s longest finger when hands are placed at the student’s side or higher than mid-thigh.
● The school will not be responsible for confiscated, unauthorized material brought to school.
