Sweeny Elementary Dress Code

Sweeny Elementary takes pride in the appearance of its students. As such, appropriate student dress and grooming are important factors in the safe and orderly operation of the schools. Each student's appearance should reflect a positive image of the school and contribute to a distraction-free learning environment.

Our school values and needs the support of parents in upholding the district and campus dress and grooming guidelines. The student and their parent(s) may determine the student's personal dress and grooming standards provided that the student's dress and grooming:

• shall not lead school officials to reasonably believe that such dress or grooming will disrupt, interfere with, disturb, or detract from school activities/academics; and
• shall not create a health problem or safety hazard for the student or others

Using the above general guidelines and the specific guidelines listed below, school administrators, with the input and support of faculty members, have the final decision in determining and enforcing student dress and grooming standards at school and at all school-related activities. Exceptions will be permitted for religious reasons.

Parents are expected to be knowledgeable and supportive of the dress and grooming guidelines.
