Dress Code

Additional policies and procedures can be accessed in the Student Handbook (provided to all students).

Students are expected to be well groomed and neatly dressed at all times. Any form of dress which is contrary to good hygiene or which is distracting or disruptive in appearance and detrimental to the purpose or conduct of the school will not be permitted. Children will take part in many activities during the school day. They should be encouraged to wear clothing that is durable, washable, and for the younger children, simple enough to be put on without assistance.

The basic rules for appropriate school attire are as follows:

  1. Hats/caps, sweat bands, bandanas, or sunglasses are not to be worn in the school building. Bandanas may not be worn on school property.
  2. Extremely mocking or distracting hair colors, hairstyles, or costume jewelry is not permitted.
  3. Footwear will be worn at all times. Flaps or thongs (flip-flops) are not permitted. Footwear must be safe for physical activity.
  4. Tank tops, see-through shirts or blouses that expose the midriff are not acceptable.
  5. The hemline of skirts and shorts must extend to the tips of the fingers when the hands are resting at the side. Clothing cannot allow the midriff to be exposed.
  6. Spandex pants, bicycle pants/shorts, leotards, or tights may be worn under a garment that is long enough to reach the tips of the fingers when the hands are resting at the side.
  7. Uncovered holes in clothing are permissible only if the holes are located below the fingertips when the hands are resting at the side. Excessively torn clothing is not permitted.
  8. Attire that is not permitted is as follows: Clothing illustrating membership in an unauthorized social group; clothing with words or pictures considered obscene, suggestive or indecent; clothing with advertising for alcohol, tobacco, or drugs.
  9. Fort Knox Community Schools district guidelines allow see-through or mesh-style backpacks only. You may purchase one from the Post Exchange.
