Spruce Creek High School

Dress Code Policy - Revised for 2012-2013

Full dress code policy - Revised May 8, 2012

For the 2012-13 school year, the School Board of Volusia County will continue enforcing the district-wide dress code which applies to every student in a Volusia County public school. The policy was amended for next school year with three basic changes 1) allowing for sunglasses; 2) allowing for hats in cold or inclement weather; and 3) clarifying that distracting or inappropriate garments are prohibited in both upper and lower garments, this includes rips and tears.

The dress code establishes minimal guidelines for the appearance and dress of students. Basic requirements follow; however, the complete guidelines can be found in Policy 217.

HEAD - No caps, visors, hoods, bandanas, or other head gear, except with administrative permission.
UPPER GARMENTS - All garments must cover shoulder to shoulder. All garments must be long enough to clearly overlap the beltline or stay tucked. NO halter tops, tanks tops, spaghetti straps or muscle shirts.
LOWER GARMENTS - Undergarments and the buttocks MUST remain entirely covered even while seated. Dresses, skirts and shorts must be at least mid-thigh or below in length. No rips/tears or skintight items.
FOOTWEAR - Shoes must be safe and appropriate. No slippers or shoes with wheels are permitted on campus. Cleats may be worn for appropriate extracurricular sports in proper areas.
ACCESSORIES - Clothing, jewelry and accessories must not convey inappropriate messages.

Garments that are distracting or inappropriate are prohibited, including those with see-through materials, skintight items or clothing with rips and tears.
