require specialized attire, such as sports uniforms or safety gear.
 Special permission must be granted by Administration for hats, bandannas, etc. to be worn during
the school day.

Non-Allowable Dress
 Clothing and accessories should not advertise or suggest drugs, alcohol, tobacco, illegal substances,
weapons, violence, profanity, hate speech, or obscenities.
 Hats, hoods, bandannas, and all other head coverings should not be worn in the building during
the school day due to school safety concerns. Head coverings are permitted for religious purposes.
 If the student’s attire or grooming threatens the health or safety of any other person, then
discipline for this violation will be consistent with discipline policies for similar violations.

What will happen if I am sent to the office?
 Students sent to the office for a dress code violation will first be asked if they have something else
to put on. The next alternative will be to call a parent to bring a change of clothes from home.
 Our goal is to return students to the learning environment as quickly as possible, but students will
not be permitted to return to class until clothing is changed.
 A student may be sent to In-School Restriction while waiting for a parent to arrive or if they refuse
to change clothes. Repeat offenders may warrant additional disciplinary consequences. Final
interpretations of appropriate dress and grooming reside with the building principal and/or
his/her designees.

ELECTRONIC, PERSONAL COMMUNICATION DEVICES
Refer to Board Policy: 5136 Last Revised 6/29/2020

For purposes of this policy, "personal communication device" (PCD) includes computers, tablets (e.g., iPad-
like devices), electronic readers ("e-readers"; e.g., Kindle-like devices), cell phones, smartphones (e.g.,
iPhones, Android devices, Windows Mobile devices, etc.), smart watches or other "wearables", telephone
paging devices (e.g., beepers or pagers), and/or other web-enabled devices of any type.

Students may use PCDs before and after school, during their lunch break (HS Only), in between classes as
long as they do not create a distraction, disruption or otherwise interfere with the educational environment,
during after school activities (e.g., extra-curricular activities), and at school-related functions.

PCDs intended and actually used for instructional purposes (e.g., taking notes, recording classroom lectures,
writing papers) will be permitted, as approved by the classroom teacher or the Principal.

Students may not use PCDs on school property or at a school-sponsored activity to access and/or view
Internet web sites that are otherwise blocked to students at school.

During after school activities, PCDs shall be powered completely off (not just placed into vibrate or silent
mode) and stored out of sight when directed by the administrator or sponsor.

Under certain circumstances, a student may keep his/her PCD "On" with prior approval from the Principal.

Except as authorized by a teacher, administrator or IEP team, students are prohibited from using PCDs
during the school day, including while off-campus on a field trip, to capture, record and/or transmit the
words or sounds (i.e., audio) and/or images (i.e., pictures/video) of any student, staff member or other
person. Using a PCD to capture, record and/or transmit audio and/or pictures/video of an individual
without proper consent is considered an invasion of privacy and is not permitted. Students who violate this
