Principal and other staff members will enforce the dress code. The administration/designee will be the final judge about whether a student’s clothing is appropriate for school. We rely on the good taste and judgment of the students and the responsibility of the parents to advise their children of the appropriate dress in accordance with the Flagler Public School Dress Code Policy. The following general rules apply to dress code.

 

  1. Short shorts/micro-mini skirts or dresses are acceptable if they are within 4” above the knee.
  2. Hats, headgear, or any head covering (bandanas, sweatbands, du-rags) are not allowed.
  3. Tops must be long enough to clearly overlap the belt line and stay tucked in during the course of the normal movement throughout the school day.
  4. Bare midriff tops, halters, revealing tops, tank tops, muscle shirts, mesh clothing, see-through clothing, blouses or shirts with string straps are not allowed.
  5. No underwear is to be seen at any time.
  6. Underwear and sleepwear as outer clothing are not allowed.
  7. Tight fitting clothing or spandex-type material that is not covered by other clothing is not allowed.
  8. Clothes or tattoos that show profanity, violence, sexually suggestive phrases or pictures, gang related symbols, alcohol, tobacco, drugs or advertisements for such products or other phrases or symbols deemed inappropriate by the administration will not be allowed.
  9. Wearing apparel, which tends to identify association with secret societies or gangs as prohibited in Florida Statues are not allowed.
  10. No sunglasses can be worn inside buildings.
  11. All chains that hang outside clothing are not allowed.
  12. Any jewelry or accessory that presents a safety or health hazard or causes a major disruption to the educational process is not allowed.
  13. Footwear that is a safety hazard will not be allowed. (i.e. footwear with wheels, including but not limited to Heely’s)
  14. Clothing which is not worn appropriately, is not properly fastened, or has tears that are indecent will not be permitted.
  15. All pants must be properly sized and worn secured at the waist level.
  16. Clothing must be free of holes or rips that are 4” above knee.  This can cause a distraction to the educational environment.
 

The School Board has the right to establish an atmosphere at the schools that will provide the best environment for educational and learning purposes. Students who are considered to be dressed inappropriately or who violate above guidelines will be sent to the office. The administration/designee shall determine whether a mode of dress is in violation of the district Dress Code Policy. In cases where a student is inappropriately dressed, arrangements will be made with the parents for an appropriate change of clothing. In the case of high school students, with parent authorization, the child may be sent home for a change of clothing.

Students who are sent to the office more than one time for Dress Code violations will be subject to disciplinary measures.
