Dress Code

AISD’s new Student Dress Code will be implemented in Fall 2004 to maintain a safe, respectful and positive learning environment and to model good citizenship. All clothing should be appropriate to the student’s age, the school setting, and weather conditions. Both students and parents share the responsibility for the student's attire because clothing often sets the pattern for behavior. Students are required to use good judgment, to respect themselves and others, and to demonstrate modesty in selecting attire.

The x's below indicate the specific items of clothing that may not be worn at the designated levels

Clothing may not advertise, condone, depict, or promote the use of alcohol, tobacco, or drugs; also prohibited is clothing with vulgar or obscene language, or with images or writings that promote disruption of the educational setting. Consult your school handbook for any additional clothing guidelines.
