Dress Code

Students, staff and families are expected to dress in a manner that denotes self-respect and does not cause, or has the potential of causing, embarrassment, derisive or derogatory comments, or disruption.

Undergarments (with the exception of bra straps) should not be exposed at any time.

Footwear is required at all times.

Hats and hoodies worn up over the head may not be worn in school buildings (exceptions may include school sponsored events or spirit days).

Students are not allowed to wear clothing with gang symbols, sexual content, or content deemed inappropriate (included but not limited to drug or alcohol references).

Students enrolled in a Physical Education class are expected to dress appropriately.  Athletic shoes are required – students without appropriate footwear will not be permitted to participate. In addition, in Arvada a school issued PE shirt should be worn to every PE class. 

If a student’s dress or appearance is deemed as inappropriate or disruptive in any way, the student will be asked to correct the situation. Parents/guardians may be called to assist the student in obtaining the appropriate attire. Refusal by the student to comply will result in disciplinary action up to and including suspension.

There may be special school-sponsored activities at which costumes or special clothing might be allowed. Even so, our own dignity and the respect for others should be our mindset at all times. These would include prom, theatrical performances, talent show, school dances, field day, and other school sponsored events.

Dress Code Guidance in Jeffco

Responsibility for student dress and appearance generally rests with individual students and their families. Students may wish to express themselves by the manner of their dress and appearance; however, students shall not wear clothing or affect an appearance at school or school-sanctioned activities or events that is disruptive to the educational environment. Jeffco Public Schools standards on student attire are intended to help students focus on schoolwork, reduce discipline problems, and improve school order and safety.

Disciplinary action for violating the student dress code shall include notifying the student of the violation and requiring that the dress or appearance be corrected before the student reenters the classroom, school environment, or school-sanctioned activity or event. At the discretion of the building-level administrator, a family conference may be held. More serious consequences may result from repeated or serious violations.
