Dress Code (Refer to Board Policy JCDB)

EMS Dress Code:

Neatness, decency, and good taste are guidelines of the district dress code. Students must dress in a manner that is not obscene; offensive; or substantially or materially disruptive to the learning environment.It is the responsibility of students, parents and school staff to help ensure the school’s dress code is being followed.

The classroom teacher may ask that students alter their clothing when dress or appearance interferes with safety, performance or course goals in a particular class. (For example, during an assessment, a teacher may ask students to remove wearable technology.) When health, medical, or religious reasons require exceptions to the guidelines for an individual student, a parent or guardian should contact the student’s administrator. All apparel (including headwear, footwear, backpacks, clothing, accessories, etc.) must follow the appearance guidelines of EMS. Traditional tribal regalia or objects of cultural significance shall not be prohibited at a public event.
