Board Policy 7:160 - Student Appearance
Student dress and grooming must not disrupt the educational process, interfere with the maintenance of a positive teaching/learning climate, or compromise reasonable standards of health, safety, and decency.
The establishment of acceptable standards of dress for school is a parental responsibility. Ensuring the health and safety of each student, and providing a proper learning environment is the responsibility of the school. Therefore, when a child's dress and grooming endanger health and safety, damage school property, or disrupt or diminish the learning process in any way, students may be directed by the Administration to modify such dress or grooming.
Parents of students attending Deer Path Middle School (grades 5-8) should refer to the DPM Handbook for specific dress code restrictions.
