Dress Code Amended for High School Students

Disponible en:

Aldine ISD will continue to implement an updated dress code for male and female ninth grade and high school students, which goes into effect at the beginning of the 2013-14 school year.

All ninth grade and high school students (male and female) must wear a collared-style shirt (Polo or Oxford, dress shirt). Button-up shirts must be buttoned. Shirts can be any color, solid, plaid or strip. Jackets are not considered shirts. Slacks, pants or shorts with belt loops require a belt.

The district is also implementing a new requirement for boys. Ponytails cannot be worn to conceal hair length not within the dress code.

Principal discretion will be used in addressing any dress code issues, which may adversely affect the educational atmosphere of the school.

The district’s general dress code is established to teach hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards, promote orderliness, and assure the security of the school.

A complete dress code policy can be found in the Parent/Student Handbook, which will be distributed to students at all grade levels the first week of the 2013-14 school year.
