PHS Dress Code Requirements

Parents and students, a reminder that all students must adhere to the dress code.

Nationwide statistics prove that schools with enforced dress codes have fewer other behavioral infractions. While managing dress code is mildly time consuming, it does help ensure a safer school climate for all of our students.

Compliance sweeps are being made to inform and remind students what is and is not approved. Please ensure that your child is in approved attire every day. Some problematic areas that must be addressed include the following:

The following regulations apply for grades Pre-K-12*

1. Appropriate clothing and footwear shall be worn.
2. Earrings may be worn in ears by females. Students in grades Pre-K-6 may only stud earrings. Earrings shall not be worn by male students at school or any school-related activity.
3. Hairstyles and mustaches shall be clean, neatly groomed and shall not distract from the learning environment nor be a safety factor for any of the school's curricular offerings. Beards will not be allowed. Hair may not be dyed any color other than a naturally occurring color (no green, pink, red, blue, purple, etc.) Any hairstyles that distract from the unique environment of a school shall be dealt with by the principal or his/her designee of that school.
4. No sleeveless garments shall be worn.
5. No hats, caps, or other headwear shall be worn on school campuses on regular school days, except when a medical condition or religious belief so warrants.
6. Students will be allowed to wear loose-fitting walking shorts if the bottom of the garment is knee-length.
7. The length of jumpers and skirts shall be knee-length or below.
8. All shirt tails much be worn tucked inside garments. No midriff shirts or blouses shall be worn.
9. Students who participate in extracurricular activities (e.g. cheerleaders, spirit group dancers, band members, other drill teams) cannot wear the group's uniform to class.
