2.  All clothing must be worn in an appropriate and tasteful manner as originally intended by the designer. For example, belts, if worn, must be worn around waistband; shirts must be buttoned and tucked at all times so bare chest or abdomen area is not exposed.

·  Bedroom shoes/slippers or pajamas

·  Pants worn below the waist or showing clothing beneath the main outerwear.

·  Shirts exposing the stomach, excessively tight, see-through or low-cut in the front or in the back.

·  Headgear (scarves, bandannas, stocking caps, hoods, hats, headbands, towels, sunglasses, doo-rags, and combs/picks.)

·  Exposed undergarments

4.  Extreme styles in clothing and grooming may be detrimental to the maintenance of discipline and morale in school; therefore, students are encouraged to use discretion in their dress and to consult with their parents on the appropriate dress for school.
