General Code of
Appearance
Administrators and teachers of Duval County
Public Schools enforce dress and grooming
guidelines that promote the successful
operation of schools. On-site administrators
determine apparel that is appropriate,
disruptive, distracting, or in violation of
safety rules outlined in the General Code of
Appearance.
Each
student has the responsibility to dress
appropriately for the school environment.
Any apparel, jewelry (such as body piercings,
ornaments) and hairstyles shall not disrupt
the classroom environment. These guidelines
for dress and grooming apply to all students
in all public schools of Duval County.
-
Elementary Schools: Shoes without closed
heels or back straps should not be worn.
-
Secondary Schools: Shoes must be worn.
However, bedroom shoes or slippers shall
not be worn.
-
Halter-tops, tank tops, backless tops,
tops with thin or no straps, or tops
that show midriff or expose the body are
prohibited.
-
See-through or mesh garments shall not
be worn without appropriate
undergarments.
-
Form-fitting or overly tight clothing
shall not be worn without appropriate
outer garments.
-
Properly hemmed outer garments such as
shorts, divided skirts, and dresses may
be worn, provided they are not
distracting, as determined by the school
administration. Garments including, but
not limited to such items as boxer
shorts, traditionally designed as
undergarments may not be worn as outer
garments.
-
Clothing and accessories shall not be
worn if they display symbols, violence,
lewd and obscene messages, sexually
suggestive phrases, or advertisements,
or symbols of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs
- Head
coverings, including but not limited to,
caps, hats, bandanas, and hair curlers,
shall not be worn on school property,
unless required by a physician or
authorized by school personnel.
- The
waistband of shorts, slacks, skirts, and
similar garments shall not be worn below
the hips. Underwear, midriff and backs
should not be exposed. Belts,
suspenders, and straps should be worn in
place and fastened.
- Any
articles of clothing or jewelry that may
cause injury to oneself or to others are
prohibited.
All
students must adhere to these minimal
guidelines for acceptable apparel and
appearance. In order to maximize
instructional time, students will be given
an opportunity to immediately correct dress
code violations.
