STUDENT DRESS CODE
A student’s conduct is related to their clothing. Therefore, the school is directly concerned with students’ clothing. The appropriateness of a
student’s clothing for the school environment should dictate the choice of��clothing and grooming practices on each given day.
Some campuses have implemented a uniform requirement pursuant to AISD Board policy FNCA (Local). Parents and students should check with the campus to confirm whether uniforms are required. You may obtain a copy of AISD Board policy FNCA(Local) from a campus administrator or review it on the internet at www.aisd.net/board and click on Board Policy.

All students are expected to adhere to common practices of modesty,
cleanliness and neatness; to dress in a respectful manner within the acceptable standards of the community and in such a manner as to contribute to the academic atmosphere, not detract from it.

Students who fail to comply with this dress code may be sent home and may be subject to corrective actions.

Any clothing, accessories, symbols, jewelry or other paraphernalia, which depicts or suggests association with a gang, secret society or fraternity, shall not be brought to school, worn at school or in any way be present at any school-sponsored event.

consider any current fashion to determine its acceptability for school wear.

school; this can be obtained from the school administration. Students in violation of this policy will be subject to corrective action as determined by the school’s administration.
