Amarillo Independent School District Student Dress Code Guidelines DRESS CODE Student dress and grooming is primarily the responsibility of students and their parents; however, the school s responsibility is to maintain a proper atmosphere for learning at school. Personal appearance is an important factor in developing and maintaining such an atmosphere. Style is very important, but some types of dress and grooming are more appropriate for specific types of activities and/or locations than others. Experience has shown that extremes in dress and grooming lead to disruption of the learning process. The principal of each school has the authority to make final decisions on questions of dress and grooming. Any student not adhering to the guidelines presented herewith will be subject to appropriate disciplinary action. GUIDELINES: Beginning in the third grade, guidelines are as follows: 1. Hair is to be neat, clean, well groomed, and styled so that vision is not obstructed. Beards and mustaches shall be kept clean and neatly trimmed. 2. School clothing is to be in good taste, clean, neat, and styled for school activities. 3. Clothing shall not advertise, condone, depict, or promote the use of alcohol, tobacco, drugs, suicide, death, violence, and/or vulgar or obscene language 4. Some type of sandal or shoe must be worn at all times. 5. Wearing either identified gang apparel or wearing clothing in a gang-style, as identified by law enforcement agencies, is prohibited. 6. Dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants shall be of a length that is not distracting. These items, when worn as the outer garment, shall extend at least to the tip of the fingers when the arms are held straight at the side. The top of any slits and/or holes in outer garments shall comply with the required dress code length. Waistbands of all dresses, skirts, shorts, and pants shall be secured at the waistline.

Discipline Policy No deviation from the normal expectations of student behavior will be tolerated during summer academy. Students are expected to abide by the AISD Student Code of Conduct at all times. Less severe violations may result in the student being asked to leave the class with no credit given for the day. Teachers will note violations that require removal and send the student to the office with a referral. A second office referral may result in permanent removal from that class or from all of summer academy. Parents will be notified if permanent removal is necessary. No refund of tuition will occur if a student is removed for disciplinary reasons. Students should be on campus only for school related reasons. If the student needs to be on campus other than for class attendance, he/she should come to the office for a pass or have a pass from a teacher. The parking lot is considered part of the campus. Those students in class will not be permitted to leave campus during class time. Being unaware of school policy or the Student Code of Conduct will not be deemed an excuse.
