In order to create and maintain a positive learning environment, promote the importance of a respectable appearance, prevent the disruption, interference with, or detraction from the educational environment and school activities, and to minimize health and safety hazards, we have developed the dress code and grooming expectations below.  These expectations will be enforced during the school day and at all on-campus after school events.  Failure to adhere to the established dress and grooming expectations will result in disciplinary action.  The final determination of appropriate student dress and grooming shall rest with the principal and assistant principals.  These expectations are subject to change.

ID badges must be worn at all times.  The first ID badge will be provided free of charge.  A fee of $3.00 per badge will be charged for additional badges. Admission to on-campus extra-curricular activities will not be permitted without an ID badge or a parent who stays for the duration of the event.

• All clothing must extend to the knee: shorts, skirts, dresses, etc.

For safety purposes, the district permits students to possess personal cellular telephones; however, these devices must be turned off and put away before students enter the building each day. These devices should remain off and put away until the students exit the building at the end of the school day.

In some cases, students may find it beneficial or might be encouraged to use personal telecommunications or other personal electronic devices for instructional purposes while on campus. Students must obtain prior approval before using personal telecommunications or other personal electronic devices for instructional use. Students must also sign a user agreement that contains applicable rules for use. When students are not using the devices for approved instructional purposes, all devices must be turned off and put away.

An authorized district employee may confiscate a personal telecommunications device, including a cellular phone or other electronic devices being used in violation of district or campus rules. The device shall be turned in to the front office, and the office will do the following:

• The parent shall be notified after the telecommunication or electronic device is confiscated.
• A parent may retrieve the device without charge on the first infraction.
• When the device is confiscated and retrieved by the student on the first infraction, an administrative fee not to exceed $15 will be charged for the return of the device.
• If confiscated a second time, the device must be retrieved by the parent for the student and an administrative fee of $15 will be charged for the return of the device.
• Three violations may result in confiscation of the device for the remainder of the school year.
• Confiscated telecommunication or electronic devices shall be held by the district for 30 days after notification to the parent has been made. After the 30 day period has expired, the district shall dispose of the telecommunication or electronic device or cellular phone. Refer to Board Policy [FNCE (LOCAL)].
