This school dress code will be enforced.
The school dress code applies to all regular school activities.
All students shall be dressed and groomed in a manner that reflects good taste and is not a distraction from or interfere with the educational environment, instructional program and image of the school. Dress or grooming which is considered unsafe, gang-related or disruptive will not be permitted.
- Dress, grooming or accessories are not allowed which:
- are considered unsafe, or a health hazard
- contain offensive or obscene symbols, signs, or slogans degrading any culture, religious, or ethnic values
- contain language or symbols oriented towards sex, drugs, alcohol, tobacco or violence
- contain gang or tagger crew symbols or affiliation
- Closed toe shoes (no platforms) must be worn at all times. Backless shoes (shoes lacking a back strap), flip-flops, and sandals are not acceptable. Healys and skate shoes are not permitted.
- Clothing must fit and be size appropriate. Clothes shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. Tank tops, thin-strapped tops, spaghetti strap tops, bare midriffs, backless and see-through or sheer tops are prohibited. Short skirts and short shorts are prohibited. Skirts and shorts must be "fingertip length". The hem of the skirt or short must be to the end of the fingertip when the student's arm is straight down by her side.
- Stud-type earrings are acceptable. Large hoops, large dangling earrings or any jewelry that create a safety hazard are not allowed.
- Hats or head covering on boys or girls are to be worn facing forward and for the protection from the sun only. Hats are to be removed upon entering the school building.
- Makeup and tattoos are not appropriate for elementary school and should not be worn.
- Costume hair coloring resulting in classroom distraction will not be permitted.
Parents and school staff have the responsibility to determine whether clothing and grooming meet appropriate standards. Your cooperation and support of the Nixon staff in enforcing these standards is greatly appreciated.
