Appropriate dress and good grooming are recognized as positive factors for maintaining a learning environment where students feel safe and secure. Dress and personal grooming should not present health or safety problems, cause disruptions of the educational process, or offend common standards of decency. The following student dress code guidelines are to be followed by each student. Uniforms are now optional.

● Uniform polo shirts can be worn in any color. (Optional) ● Tops or any outerwear should not display profanity, alcohol, marijuana, or any other inappropriate logo. ● Racerback tank tops, spaghetti straps and strapless tops/dresses are not allowed. ● Shoulder straps of permitted garments must be a minimum of the width of two fingers of the person wearing the top and should not reveal any undergarments. ● Costumes and pajamas are not allowed

● Jeans or uniform pants can be worn in any color with no holes or rips. ● Shorts, skirts, skorts, dresses, and jumpers should be touching the longest finger length at the side of the leg. ● Skirts, dresses, or jumpers must have tights or shorts under them. ● Ripped, stained, soiled clothing, or clothing which is too tight or revealing is not school attire. ● Leggings if worn alone must have a shirt that covers the student's bottom.

Shoes |
● Shoes need to be affixed to the foot for safety reasons. ● No slides, flip flops, high heels, roller shoes, or cleats.

Spirit Day Friday |
● Students are encouraged to wear a Hoover T-Shirt to show school spirit.

Non Compliance |
● If a student is referred to the office for dress code violation and deemed not in compliance, the student will change into a school uniform. ● If no uniform is available, parents will be contacted to bring appropriate clothing. ● The teacher will send the dress code policy to parents on talking points or email. ● The student will return to class until the article of clothing arrives unless it is distracting to be in class until appropriate clothing arrives. ● Chronic offenders will be referred to the principal and loss of certain rights to wear items can be taken away. For example: If a student continues to wear inappropriate short length then that student can lose the right to wear shorts to school.
