VHHS DRESS CODE Purpose Statement: The purpose of the high school dress code is to give students a safe, orderly, and distraction-free environment. An effective dress code depends most importantly on the cooperation of the students but also on that of the parents and school faculty. 1. Clothing must not expose skin at the waist/midriff area or excessive skin of the upper torso area. No spaghetti straps. 2. Students should not wear clothing with holes or sheer areas above fingertip length. 3. Skirts and dresses should be no more than 4 inches above the top of the knee- cap. 4. Shorts must be no shorter than fingertip length. 5. No pajamas, bedroom slippers, or house shoes are permitted. 6. Students must not wear anything that could be viewed as obscene, vulgar, suggestive or offensive to anyone of any age. This includes clothes which promote the use of drugs, endorse alcohol or tobacco products, or contain messages with any sexual content. 7. Leggings or tights may be worn with a top that covers appropriately. 8. Hats must not be worn inside the building. 9. Hair must be of natural colors. 10. Excessively long, large, or baggy clothes are not allowed. The waistband of the pants must be worn at the waist. The local school and system administrators reserve the right to modify this policy as necessary and reserve the right to determine what is inappropriate and unsafe. Penalty for noncompliance: Parent(s) or student must supply what is needed for compliance before the student is allowed to return to class. The student will receive one warning. The second violation will result in one session of detention. Repeated offenses will require progression of consequences for defiance. .
