Expectations regarding
student dress at Yosemite High School are driven by community values of
modesty, school safety, and preparation for the world of work (BP 5132,
AR 5132).
The following are to be considered as general guidelines on the Yosemite
High School campus and at all school activities:
- Clothing shall
be sufficiently modest in order to reduce distractions to student learning.
- Clothing should
be neat and fitted to the student.
- All apparel shall
be safe and appropriate for the classroom.
- A student’s dress
should contribute to a positive self-image and a productive learning
environment.
The following are
specific requirements for all students (Ed. Code 35183, 48907):
- Footwear and shirts
are required at all times.
- Chains, collars,
or bracelets with spikes or studs, or any other injurious objects necessary
for the academic purpose of the pupil are prohibited on school grounds
(Ed Code 49330).
- Clothing and personal
items are to be free of writing, pictures, or any other insignia which
are profane, sexually suggestive, or which bear drug, alcohol, or tobacco
advertising, or which advocate racial, ethnic, religious prejudice,
or are gang-related.
- Hats, shirts or
any other items with individual nicknames or with gang-related affiliation
are not acceptable.
- Clothing shall
be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. See-through or
fish-net fabrics, tank tops with oversized armholes, halter tops, low-cut
tops, bare midriffs, or skirts or shorts shorter than mid-thigh are
not acceptable. Skirts, shorts, slits should be at or below the fingertips
when standing in a relaxed posture.
- Bike shorts or
gym shorts are unacceptable attire outside of physical education classes.
- Pants must fit
and be worn at the natural waist. All belts worn by students should
be properly fitted, and any excess belt should be worn in the belt loops
so that it does not hang down from the waist.
The administration
will gladly answer any questions you or your student may have about appropriate
dress for school. Students who are dressed inappropriately will be required
to modify their dress or they will be sent home to change, and parents
will be contacted. Repeated incidents will be treated as defiance of the
school's authority.
