Dress Code
 

We feel that good behavior is enhanced when a student maintains a high standard of neatness in dress. We do not require uniforms at A. C. Steere. K-5 students are permitted to wear play clothes. Students in grades 4 and 5 may also wear shorts. However, they are not to wear “short” shorts. Please be aware and observe the dress code limitations. The Caddo Parish School Board Dress Code will be enforced. Your cooperation and support is needed and appreciated. Parents or guardians of children coming to school with inappropriate clothing will be contacted to rectify the situation.

Caddo Parish Dress Code

The basic responsibility for the appearance of the students of Caddo Parish Schools rests with the parents and the students themselves. Parents have the obligation, and within certain prescribed bounds, the right to determine their student’s dress. Students are to dress in apparel that is modest, tasteful, and that does not interfere with or distract from the educational process or rights of others. Students and their clothing should be neat, clean and well groomed and must meet the following guidelines: 

1. Attire must not be destructive to school property.

2. For health reasons, shoes must be worn. Hosiery is required with closed shoes.

3. Only tops designed to be worn outside of pants, shorts or skirts shall be worn in that manner.

4. Pants, shorts and skirts must be worn at the waist. NO “SAGGING” is permitted. Belts should be buckled at all times.

5. Headwear or hair rollers are prohibited in the building. Unnatural hair color (green, blue, etc.) is prohibited.

6. Body piercing jewelry cannot be worn except in the ears.

7. Shirts, sweaters, jackets, and other tops worn over leggings must be no shorter than four inches above the knee. Skirt length should be no more than four inches above the knee.

8. Sunglasses are prohibited in the building unless they are prescribed.

9. Bare midriffs, see-through garments, white undergarment type tee shirts, bare backs, halter tops, tube tops and cutoffs cannot be worn. There are to be no holes or tears in clothing on the school campus.

10. Loose-fitting shorts may be worn by students that are no more than four inches above the knee when standing. All shorts must be hemmed. Cutoff shorts, rolled-up jeans, sweats, athletic or spandex shorts cannot be worn. No other article of clothing can be worn beneath the shorts for previewing.

11. Obscene, profane language or provocative pictures on clothing or jewelry are prohibited.

12. Satanic, cult or gang related symbolism in any form is prohibited on school campuses.

13. Drug related symbols in any form including advertisements or promotion of alcohol or tobacco, are prohibited on school campuses.

14. Principals, after consultation with their School Improvement Committee, have the discretion to adjust the dress code to fit unique situations as long as the decision does not interfere with the requirements of Title IX. 

A teacher will also be allowed to restrict manner of dress or length of hair.
