Board Policy Student Dress Code Descriptor Code: JCDB
DRESS CODE
The student along with his/her parents is responsible for appropriate dress and adherence to the Washington County Dress Code while attending Washington County Schools. A neat, dignified, and well-groomed appearance is expected of every student. We strive to instill a level of excellence in our students in order to develop their personal best in academics, extra-curricular activities, and appearance. We are preparing students for their future-today! The administrative staff and faculty are responsible for the enforcement of the Washington County Dress Code. If a student is not in uniform or not adhering to the dress code rules, then he/she will be in violation of Washington County Schools Dress Code. This will be a discipline offense, and the student will be dealt with accordingly. The dress code will also apply to all formal events and field trips. The Washington County School System requires all students in Pre-K through 12 to wear a school uniform. All students in Pre-K through 12 (except those deemed exempt) must adhere to the Mandatory School Uniform Policy with the following dress code being applied in all schools:
