  • School Uniform and Standards for Personal Appearance and Grooming As Authorized by State Law and the LPS Charter, Students Are Required to Wear Uniforms to School
    2017-2018 Parent-Student Handbook excerpt School Uniform and Standards for Personal Appearance and Grooming As authorized by state law and the LPS charter, students are required to wear uniforms to school. Leadership Prep’s dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, to prevent disruption, and to minimize safety hazards. Students must come to school cleanly and neatly groomed, and wearing clothing that will not be a health or safety hazard to the student or others and that will not distract from the educational atmosphere of the school. Students are required to arrive in a proper school uniform every day. Parents must provide their student(s) with the required uniform, except in the case of educationally disadvantaged students as provided in the Texas Education Code. LPS may provide a uniform for economically disadvantaged students. A request for school assistance for purchasing uniforms must be made in writing to the Principal and include evidence of the inability to pay. Further details are available in the Principal’s office. A parent may choose for his or her student(s) to be exempted from the requirement of wearing a uniform if the parent provides a written statement that, as determined by the Board of Directors, states a bona fide religious or philosophical objection to the requirement. Uniform Information and Policy To maintain a consistent appearance among students, LPS has selected certain acceptable types of clothing which may be purchased through Academic Outfitters, Wal-Mart, Target, Old Navy, Land’s End, JC Penney, or a variety of other sources. Please see the Academic Outfitters information and pictures on our website to see approved styles even if you don’t purchase through them.
