Dress Code / Standards of Dress

As a member of the Flournoy community, each person will show respect for themselves and others by dressing appropriately. Staff will take responsibility for applying the dress code consistently and modeling appropriate attire.

As a member of the Flournoy community, each person has the right and responsibility to make a polite request that the dress code be honored. When students are unsuitably dressed, students will have to call home and have appropriate clothing brought to them. The students will be restricted to the office area until appropriate clothing or transportation home is available. After an initial warning, students choosing to violate the dress code will have a conference with the Superintendent and parent to either find a resolution or a consequence.

Students may not wear clothing items or bring personal belongings that interrupt learning, distract themselves or their peers from instruction, or are harmful or harassing to themselves and others. This may include clothing, accessories, or other items that…

Have harmful messages/symbols that are disrespectful, offensive, or rude;
Contain foul language, put-downs, or are harassing in nature;
Promote violence, death, suicide, drugs, tobacco, or alcohol;
Indicate a gang affiliation;
Relate to unsafe practices or social groups;
Contain sexual images and suggestive language;

Reveal private areas or undergarments;
Compromise safety and/or modesty at recess and PE;
Can be used for violent acts or cause injury to self or others;

BP 5132 Dress and Grooming

BP 4319.22 Dress and Grooming (Personnel)

We do promote that students dress with modesty in mind. Clothing that reveals intimate parts of the body or undergarments are not allowed at school.

If leggings are worn, please wear an appropriate length shirt, dress, or shorts in order to cover private parts of the body.
To determine the appropriate length of shorts, skirts, and dresses, use the fingertip rule. With relaxed shoulders hanging at side of body, measure down to the longest fingertip. Shorts, skirts, and dresses need to reach this length (or longer) in order to be acceptable to wear at school.
Shirts and dresses must have straps or sleeves. Strapless or tube top style shirts are not allowed at school. Tank tops with shoulder straps need to measure no less than 2 inches in width. No visible bra, spaghetti or cami straps.
Crop tops, shirts with low cut arm holes, and shirts that don’t cover the waistband and all undergarments are not allowed (undergarments, belly buttons, and underarm hair should not be visible).
Sagging pants that reveal undergarments or hinder play or PE are not to be worn at school.
Leave pajamas, pajama pants/boxers, and slippers at home. (An exception for pajamas will be made during pajama dress-up/spirit days. Slippers are not allowed on dress up days)
Due to safety issues, students’ shoes must be secured around the heel. Therefore, flip flops or sandals/shoes without straps around the heel are not allowed. High-heeled shoes are highly discouraged because they are not safe for PE activities and students can trip when walking up/down the hill at recess. (Students wearing high-heeled shoes are required to stay at the top of the hill at recess time in order to reduce risk.

We respectfully request that adults visiting our campus honor our dress code. Thank you.
