The fundamentals of good taste and safety govern
what students may wear to school. State law requires that students wear shoes
in all areas of the school building. Attire or grooming that is disruptive
to the educational environment will result in disciplinary action. Students
should remember that the final decision regarding dress that interrupts the
education process rests with the school administration.
