LASD Dress Code Reminder- MAMS
While students are doing an EXCELLENT job adhering to the Dress Code, we want to keep it up! Please review the dress code to remind yourself of the requirements.
Dress Code: School Board Policy 221 recognizes that each student's mode of dress and grooming is a manifestation of personal style and individual preference. The Board also recognizes its administration's responsibility to maintain safe and orderly operations and an appropriate educational environment within the school.
For the purposes of safe and orderly operations within the school, a dress code has been established as outlined below. Examples of clothing that are deemed to be inappropriate for the school environment or have been shown to cause disruption to safe and orderly operations of the school include but are not limited to:
Clothing displaying slogans and/or pictures that are suggestive of the use of or involvement in alcohol, tobacco, drugs, lewd behavior, pornographic images, violence, weapons, hate speech, or obscene language
Demonstrate gang association/affiliation
Clothing which exposes undergarments, is sheer, or transparent clothing.
Tops (shirt, blouse, sweater, sweatshirt, tank, etc) must extend to the top of the beltline
Bottom (pants, shorts, skirt, dress, etc) must be worn appropriately at the waistline and cover buttocks
Appropriate footwear must be worn at all times
Examples of clothing that affect the health and safety of self or others:
Students may be required to wear certain types of clothing while participating in physical education classes, shops, labs, extracurricular activities such as band, or other situations.
Hats, caps or headwear that preclude the identification of a student from digital surveillance systems.
Dress code violations should be addressed initially through teacher intervention. If a student does not modify their dress, they will be referred to the administration for further intervention.
At Maple Avenue, students are not permitted to wear hats and/or hoods in the building.
