Dress Code for Grades 6-12 for the 2023-2024 School Year
These changes were brought to SIC by a teacher representative from student concerns. Some of the concerns were that the dress code as written is too restrictive and that it is hard to find clothes in the stores to meet it, especially for the females. The current dress code is attached below on page two.
The LDHS School Improvement Council (SIC) voted on the following changes highlighted in yellow to be considered for the 2021-2022 dress code. This will be the current dress code until further notice:
Bare feet are not permitted.
Heavy chains or rings that resemble brass knuckles will not be allowed.
Midriffs, backless, or see-through clothing will not be allowed.
Pants must be worn at the waist and undergarments not visible. Wear a belt if necessary. Holes of any kind in shorts, pants, or jeans that reveal skin one vertical length of an ID or 3 inches above the knee will not be allowed.
Hats, headgear, or bandanas are not to be worn inside the building with the exception of face masks required for protection during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Shorts, skirts, or dresses more than vertical length of an ID or 3 inches above the knee length will not be allowed.
Bike shorts, bike pants, leggings, or other tight-fitting clothing as outerwear will not be allowed. Tops worn with these must be no shorter than fingertip length.
Tank tops without a shirt or blouse, and low tops will not be allowed. Sleeveless blouses must cover at least the horizontal length of an ID or 3 inches.
Clothing and masks with vulgar, obscene, racist, or suggestive writing(this includes sexually explicit material, and advertisements for alcohol, drugs, and tobacco) will not be allowed.
Unusual body piercings that are disruptive to the order of the school, or are a distraction to the learning environment will not be allowed.
Blankets are not to be used at school as student coverings.
