Don’t forget as you’re out doing school shopping, below is the high school dress code:
Dress Code
Maintaining a proper standard of clothing helps to keep an air of seriousness at school. We believe there is a definite relationship between good dress habits, good work habits, and proper school behavior. Any fashion, dress accessory, or grooming that is found to be disruptive to the educational process or presents health or safety concerns will not be permitted. Therefore, the principal shall have final jurisdiction in individual cases when interpreting and enforcing dress and grooming guidelines.
In the event that the dress code is broken, the school will provide students with appropriate clothing when available. If nothing is available, it will be the responsibility of the parent to bring clothing that is appropriate.
1. Generally any clothing that draws unnecessary attention, too revealing or is exhibitionist
in nature will not be permitted.
2. Hair must be neat and clean and not disruptive to the educational process.
3. Clothing, buttons, badges, etc. that contain messages that are vulgar, offensive, obscene, libelous; that denigrate others on the basis of race, color, religion, creed, national origin, gender, sexual orientation or viability; that promote or reference alcohol, tobacco or drug use, violence, weapons, or death will not be permitted.
4. Bandanas will not be permitted to be worn in any fashion.
5. Head gear will not be worn during school hours. It must be removed upon arriving to the
lockers. This includes hoods from sweatshirts, students are NOT permitted to wear hoods up
during the day in the building.
6. Physical Education classes will require students to change into clothing that will conform to the activity and will not be of danger to the students. Students must have a change of clothes and shoes for Physical Education Class.
7. Pajama tops and bottoms are not permitted to be worn at school.
8. Tank-top style, halter-top style, strapless top style or garments with spaghetti straps will not be permitted. Sleeveless style garments will be permitted as long as the area from the neck to the shoulder is covered.
9. Shorts may be worn throughout the school year. Length of shorts and skirts must be no higher
than 6 “ above the knee.
10. Excessively oversized or sagging clothing will not be permitted. Bottoms must stay in place at the waistline or hipline with or without a belt. The waist is defined as the area between the bottom of the ribcage and the top of the hipbone. Tops and bottoms must overlap at all times including when arms are raised.
11. No undergarments are permitted to be showing.
12. No chains of any kind will be permitted on a student or their clothing.
13. Holes in pants that reveal skin or undergarments will not be permitted 6” above the knee unless tights are worn underneath.
14. Visible undergarments will not be permitted.
15. Any excessively form-fitting clothes that are revealing, including but not limited to yoga pants, and jeggings, will not be permitted unless the front and back of the student are completely covered when arms are raised above the head.
16. Inappropriate footwear (slippers, roller shoes, beach sandals, barefoot) will not be permitted.
17. Blankets are not permitted to be used/worn during the school day.
As students mature into high school, they are permitted more privileges, therefore:
18. Students are permitted to wear flip-flops and/or backless/strapless shoes. Teachers do however have the right to not permit certain style of shoes depending on the curriculum they are teaching.
Students who are representing Grand Valley at an official function or public event may be required to follow specific dress requirements. Usually, this applies to athletic teams, bands, and other such groups.
We look forward to seeing you soon!
