Parents & Guardians -
Below you will find the wording from the student dress code. We will begin checking dress code tomorrow and calling home to have clothing brought to school for any student out of dress code. We would greatly appreciate your help in making sure students are following these expectations:
"Dress and Grooming (All Grade Levels) The district’s dress code teaches grooming and hygiene, prevents disruption, and minimizes safety hazards. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following: 2026-2027 Dress Code The district’s dress code is designed to enhance the learning environment and build self-confidence. The primary consideration for students in deciding on what to wear and how to groom should be cleanliness, neatness, and appropriateness to the school setting. Students and parents may determine a student’s personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the following:
Wear shoes appropriate for school activities.
Wear under garments that are not visible during normal school day activities.
Wear pants/leggings/yoga pants/bottoms at or above the waist with no under-garments showing.
Wear sleeveless shirts/tank tops only if the straps are at least as wide as the student’s 3 fingers and shirt sides go up to the underarms.
Shorts, dresses, and skirts will extend to or past the mid-thigh. Slits no higher than midthigh.
Visible piercings are limited to the ears or nose. No gauges, plugs, spikes, septum piercings, or nose hoops.
Hats, caps, bandanas, and head coverings, including hoods, can only be worn outside.
Inappropriate words or images cannot be written, displayed, expressed or implied. Examples: gang affiliation, violence, illegal activities, drugs/alcohol/tobacco, sexual innuendos, cultural divisiveness, racial intolerance, vulgarity, obscenity, derogatory language, and/or weapons.
No crop tops, bare midriff shirts, muscle shirts, net shirts, sleepwear, and/or biker shorts.
No bandanas, hip cloths, or chained wallets.
Hair, including facial hair, will be clean, well-groomed and not extreme in style, appearance and/or color (ex. neon/fluorescent).
The Administrative Staff at each respective campus has the final authority to determine the appropriateness of student appearance. If the Administrative Staff determines that a student’s grooming or clothing violates the school’s dress code, the student will be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school and return to the classroom. If the problem cannot be corrected at school, the principal will work with the student and parent to obtain an acceptable change of clothing for the student in a way that minimizes loss of instructional time. Repeated or severe offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct." (pg. 59-60 of the SISD student handbook)
Thank you!
