DRESS FOR SUCCESS

Students are expected to dress appropriately for daily attendance at school.  Style of clothing can be individual and personal yet NOT be distracting, disruptive or unsafe. Any student participating in any school activity (sports, field trips, dances and on-site as well as off-site events) must follow the dress code.

CLOTHING GUIDELINES:

HATS: Hats, visors, caps, or other head coverings and sunglasses may be worn for protection from the sun but must be removed before entering buildings – including the cafeteria and the gym. Bills of hats are to be facing forward. Hairnets and do-rags may not be worn at any time.

ACCESSORIES: Clothing, and accessories (i.e., backpacks and binders) must be free of writing, pictures or any insignia which are considered vulgar, profane, or sexually suggestive; which advocate racial, ethnic, or religious prejudice; or which promote drugs, violence, alcohol, insinuate gang affiliation or any illegal activity. Elastic bands added as outerwear or accessories to clothing are not to be worn on clothing at any time.  Symbols drawn or written on the body are not allowed. 

SHIRTS: Clothing in which the torso, midriff or cleavage is exposed, such as tube tops, tank tops, half shirts, halters, or see-through clothing is not allowed. In addition, off the shoulder and backless clothing is not allowed.  Oversized shirts may present a hazard in science class and should not be worn to school. 

TANK TOPS: All tank tops must have a strap that is at least TWO INCHES (four fingers) wide and must cover bra straps.

BACKPACKS: Students may print their name neatly on the outside of their backpack.  There should be no other writing visible on the backpack.  Red or blue backpacks are not allowed at school.

PANTS: Students should wear pants that are appropriately sized to fit their height and weight.  Pants must fit so that they are able to stay up without a belt.  Pants must cover undergarments at all times. Pajama tops/bottoms, and/or flannel pants are not to be worn to school.

SKIRTS/DRESSES/SHORTS: Skirts, dresses, shorts, and skorts must be no shorter than four inches above the knee and not fit tightly.

SHOES: Shoes or sandals must be worn at all times. Soft soled slippers and “flip-flops” are not to be worn at school.

SAFETY: Symbols or devices associated with gangs are not allowed at any time. While Crittenden students may not be gang affiliated, wearing overtly gang-related apparel or too much of one color can result in a safety issue, thus no red and/or blue shoes, shoestrings, bandanas, belts or more than one red or blue item of clothing is allowed.  No belt is to be worn that the excess is dangling or hanging out of the pants. These items will be confiscated and not be returned to the student.  Students who show gang involvement by their apparel or actions will be denied the right to wear gang colors.  Administration reserves the right to determine if apparel is suggestive of gang affiliation.

Students who are in violation of the dress code will be required to correct the violation before being allowed in class.  PE uniforms may not be worn to correct dress code violations.  Parents will be contacted to bring appropriate clothing or pick up the student who is in violation of the dress code.  Repeated dress code violations will result in disciplinary action.  The administration will make final decisions regarding dress code.

"Inspire and empower every student to pursue academic and personal excellence."
