3 The Lake Hamilton School Board of Education recognizes that dress can be a matter of personal taste and preference. At the same time, the District has a responsibility to promote an environment conducive to student learning. This requires limitations to student dress and grooming that could be disruptive to the educational process because they are immodest, disruptive, unsanitary, unsafe, could cause property damage, or are offensive to common standards of decency. Students are prohibited from wearing, while on the school grounds during the school day and at school-sponsored events, clothing that exposes underwear, buttocks, or the breast of a female. This prohibition does not apply, however to a costume or uniform worn by a student while participating in a schoolsponsored activity or event.

4 1. Clothing, jewelry or other accessories concerning drugs, alcohol, tobacco, sex, vulgar language, double meanings, or that contain symbols or slogans that are offensive to particular groups, appear to be gang or satanic related or contain anything that could be inflammatory in nature are prohibited. 2. Dresses and skirts must be knee length unless leggings or yoga pants are worn underneath. Tights/yoga pants/jeggings may be worn. However, the buttocks must be covered by a dress/skirt, shorts, or long t-shirt, not something that can easily be removed, such as jackets or sweaters tied around the waist.

5 3. Students in grades 8-12 will not be allowed to wear shorts. Shorts are defined as any pant that is above knee length. 4. Sagging or wearing excessively baggy clothes will not be permitted. 5. Midriffs are to be covered at all times. 6. Undergarments or portions of undergarments are not to be visible. 7. No sleepwear, pajamas, or house shoes will be permitted.

6 8. Shirts, tops, dresses or garments with bodices that are strapless, the halter style, have spaghetti straps, or narrow straps are to be avoided unless a more appropriate top is worn either over or under the garment. Clarification: Garments worn by male or female students should have a strap width approximately 2 inches wide. Tops, shirts or bodices that are low cut in the front, back or sides will not be permitted. The 3 B's (breasts, belly and buttocks) must be covered at all times.

7 STUDENTS WHO ARE DRESSED INAPPROPRIATELY AND ARE SENT OR CHOOSE TO GO HOME TO CHANGE CLOTHES WILL BE ASSESSED AN ABSENCE FOR THE CLASSES THAT ARE MISSED. Expectations for Student Dress at Extracurricular Activities 1. Student dress requirements at after school and extracurricular activities will be slightly relaxed. However, student attire should closely reflect the student dress code expectations. Students who violate this expectation will not be allowed to attend these activities. 2. Students that are participating in an extracurricular activity shall wear a uniform that is required for that activity during the event. 3. Students involved in an extracurricular activity during the day or night, that requires a special uniform, will still be required to meet the student dress code during class time.
