Curtis High School Standardized Dress Code for Students

To ensure all Curtis High School students dress in a respectable, safe, and professional manner, a standardized dress code will be followed by all students. Reasonable accommodations on the basis of a student's religious beliefs or medical conditions may be made. The principal may request from the parent or guardian a written statement explaining the medical condition or religious belief and how it is affected by the standardized dress code.

The Citywide Standards of Intervention and Discipline Measures sets forth a Bill of Student Rights and Responsibilities. Consistent with the Citywide Standards, students may determine their own dress within the parameters of the Department of Education's policy on school uniforms and consistent with religious expression, except where such dress is dangerous or interferes with the teaching and learning process.

Students must be dressed appropriately for school.

All pants and skirts should be secured at waist level and may not fall below the waist to such a degree that a student's posterior or underwear is shown in any manner.

Students who arrive to school dressed inappropriately will have their parents contacted, will be required to change into more appropriate attire, and will not be permitted to attend classes until they are dressed appropriately.

Halter-tops, tank tops and tube tops are not permitted. Tops must extend to the waist and meet the waist band of pants, skirts or shorts. Shoulders and backs should not be bare.

Shorts and skirts must extend to the length of one's fingertips when standing straight up. Miniskirts or short-shorts may not be worn.

Slogans or pictures that are obscene or deemed inappropriate by school officials cannot appear on clothing.

Head coverings, except for religious purposes, for both males and females, are not permitted. Head coverings will be confiscated after an initial warning.
