SBCSC Dress Code & Uniform Policy

Uniform Policy

Any student attending a school that has adopted a school uniform policy will adhere to that school’s clearly defined dress attire. Schools that adopt the uniform policy have surveyed their district members on this matter and have implemented the majority decision. Students transferring into the district or traveling between schools due to administrative purposes are not exempt from the uniform policy of the school. Any questions concerning the uniform policy should be directed to the building administrator.

General Dress Code Guidelines

Students are expected to dress appropriately for school. The responsibility for student dress is that of the students and the parents. The following guidelines should be followed:

• Shorts must be worn at or below the knee, no exceptions. (Leggings are not a suitable substitute for pants and do not bring out of compliance shorts or skirts into compliance.)
• Skirts must be to the knee.
• NO ragged, ripped, torn, or sheer items of clothing.
• NO “Sagging” - shorts, slacks, jeans, etc., must fit properly at the waist. A belt must also be worn if belt loops are present on the clothing item.
• NO Pajama Pants or Tops.
• NO tank tops (athletic or spaghetti strap styles), midriffs, shirts or tops that fail to cover the entire stomach or back area. Appropriate necklines should also be observed. Sleeveless tops must be three inches in width.
• NO clothing, jewelry, hairstyles, that exhibit anything related to alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gangs, cults, vulgar language, violent acts, or sexual innuendo.
• NO hats, bandannas, wave setter caps, sweat bands, and/or hair nets are to be worn inside the building or at school functions.
• NO unnatural hair colors - blue, green, bright red, pink, purple, etc.
• NO Coats or outerwear clothing are to be worn in the classroom.
• All School bags are to be put in the locker and not carried to class.

The administration reserves the right to make final judgment concerning the appropriateness of a student’s attire/appearance. The administration will deal with students who do not adhere to the dress code.
