APPROPRIATE STUDENT DRESS:
Personal appearance guidelines are difficult to interpret because clothing decisions may be a result of
fashion trends, individual needs and tastes, and parental dictates. Community groups may vary from
school to school in the way they view this issue. Some school communities might believe that students
should wear uniforms so that current styles are not an issue in the building; others believe that student
dress allows student expression and is a freedom students should have. Keeping this difference of
opinion in mind, the Blue Valley administrators will ensure that students follow these guidelines when
faced with issues about dress.
1. Clothing that disrupts learning* is not appropriate for school and students will be asked to change their
clothes. Provocative clothing is inappropriate as well.
2. Parents will be encouraged to monitor student dress to support a learning environment.
3. Apparel items posing a threat to the safety of school community members are not to be worn in school
(i.e. chains, studded accessories).
4. T-shirts that advertise illegal activities or items students cannot legally buy will not be worn in school.
5. Hats/caps/bandanas/hoods will not be worn during the school day.
6. Sponsors of extracurricular activities will also be expected to have students adhere to these guidelines
as appropriate.
*Examples of clothing that disrupts learning include:
• apparel that allows a bare midriff
• apparel that allows underwear to show (i.e. boxers under low slung jeans, bra straps under
skimpy tops)
• no tube tops or halter tops
• clothing that is too tight
• extremely short shorts or short skirts with provocative slits
• necklines that are provocative
• sunglasses
Students are expected to comply with reasonable staff requests related to clothing issues.
NO: Spaghetti Straps! 

 (Straps must be a minimum of one inch wide!)
ALWAYS APPROPRIATE: BVHS Tiger Gear!
