DRESSING AND GROOMING
Students should dress appropriately for a school setting and business environment. The staff wishes to promote a climate in which all students feel comfortable and, therefore, will not permit the wearing of the following items:
- Articles of clothing that promote drugs, alcohol, sexual activity, harassment, hate, violence, or offensive language.
- Extremely revealing clothes (i.e., extremely low cut necklines, midriff tops, short shorts/skirts, exposed undergarments, one shoulder garments, halter tops, strapless tops, spaghetti straps, tube tops, low cut waist-line pants/shorts/skirts, or other garments deemed distracting and/or inappropriate for school environment.
- Skirts and shorts shorter than finger-tip length as a guideline.
- Pants or shorts below waist level making an undergarment visible.
- Leggings or stockings worn as pants.
- Any head coverings (hats, scarves, skull caps, hoods, etc.) unless for religious reasons inside the school building – head coverings may not be visible during school hours (keep in lockers or book bags).
- Bare feet or slippers.
- Pajamas.
The judgment of appropriateness of student clothing is at the discretion of school staff members using the above list as a guideline. Please keep in mind that Rockville High School is a place of business. If a student is not certain that his/her clothing will be appropriate, he/she should not wear the item(s) in question. |
