Avonworth HS/MS ATTENDANCE Policy

DRESS CODE
Explanation:
The Dress Code Policy is intended to support the creation of an educational environment promoting self-respect and appropriate exposure while not inhibiting self-expression. Faculty and administration have the right to question a student’s dress if perceived as inappropriate and/or offensive. Parents will be notified and be required to bring a change of clothing if the student cannot make adequate adjustments. Classes missed by the student as a result of the dress code violation will count against the school’s attendance/discipline policy. The intent is not to disrupt education with discussion on clothing, but expectations are in place and will be enforced to the best of our ability.
(Excerpt from ASD Student Handbook below...)
Students are not permitted to wear hats, caps or sunglasses in the building during the school day.
Clothing that is obscene and vulgar or promotes the use of illegal substances (alcohol, drugs, tobacco, guns and/or gangs/violence)
sexual innuendo or discrimination may not be worn.
No spaghetti strap tank tops are permitted. No exposed backs, see-through clothing or strapless shirts or dresses without a covering permitted.
Tops exposing the chest or a bare midriff are not permitted and must be able to meet the top of the student’s pants, shorts or skirt while standing up.
Shorts and skirts must be of a length that does not expose the buttocks.
It is strongly suggested that students not wear flip-flops. Slippers are not permitted to be worn.
