Dress Code

The Board of Education of the Weber School District recognizes that standards of proper dress and grooming affect the behavior of students attending school. Students should dress appropriately so they do not distract from the learning environment and detract from the learning experience. These standards are listed below:

1. Emphasis is placed on neatness, cleanliness, safety, and modesty in personal

appearance.

2. Clothing not ordinarily worn in the workplace may not be worn at school (i.e., robes,

pajamas, house slippers, mutilated clothing) unless it is an approved administrative

school activity (for example: pajama day to reward good behavior)

3. Tank tops, halter tops, bare midriffs, pants that excessively sag or expose the buttocks

or underwear, are examples of inappropriate dress. Students may be asked to call home

for a change of clothing if dressed inappropriately.

4. Clothing that is extreme, sloppy, for protest, defiance, dissent, or displays illegal

substances, or is obscene, suggestive, or shows inappropriate words or pictures is not

permitted.

5. Shorts, skirts or dresses must be below the mid thigh.

6. Clothing attachments or accessories that could be considered unsafe, distracting or

disruptive to the educational process. (i.e., chains, spikes) are not allowed.

7. Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times. No wheeled shoes are allowed on

school grounds.

8. Good manners dictate that no hats or headwear are permitted in school buildings.

9. Apparel or accessories with gang symbols, monikers, insignias or other gang identifiers

are not allowed.

10. Sunglasses and head phones are not allowed during school hours.

11. Hair or makeup that is so conspicuous, extreme, odd in color or style that it draws

undue attention, disrupts, or tends to disrupt or interferes with the learning atmosphere

at school will not be allowed.
