STUDENT DRESS CODE Appropriate appearance has a correlation to appropriate behavior; therefore, we ask parents and students accept their responsibilities concerning proper appearance. Personal appearance should not disrupt the educational process, call undue attention to the individual, violate federal, state, or local health and obscenity laws, or affect the welfare and safety of the students or his/her classmates. In order to promote an environment conducive to learning, the standards for person appearance shall be as follows: 1. Clothing to include dress, skirts, and skorts must reach the top of the knee cap. 2. Appropriate undergarments must be worn, but not visible. 3. All shirts or blouses must be full shouldered and fully cover the torso and back without exposing cleavage or the midriff. 4. Students are not permitted to wear any type of head gear, hats, sunglasses, caps, bandannas, spikes, or chains. (Headgear or accessories that violate this rule shall be confiscated.) 5. Clothing which promotes alcohol or drugs, bears vulgar or offensive language or sexual innuendos is not permitted. 6. Any appearance that is distracting to the educational environment or poses a health or safety hazard to the student or others is prohibited. 7. Shoes must be worn at all times and be activity appropriate. 8. No pajamas or lounge pants. 9. No clothing with holes or tears above the knee. To meet the criteria of this code, all clothing items worn must be designed with a proper fit and worn in such a way that underwear and skin are appropriately covered at all times. This dress code will apply on field trips and while participating in extracurricular activities unless prior approval of administration is obtained. If the teacher is conducting a special activity or a medical condition exists that requires special attire, prior approval of administration must be obtained. Coaches will enforce dress code to ensure that students are appropriately dressed while participating in athletic activities; otherwise, this dress code shall be enforced for athletes and other students while under the supervision of the coach. All decisions regarding the enforcement of this dress code will be made by the administration. Special “Dress-up” days may be approved by the principal. Guidelines for these special events will be announced prior to each event. NOTE: Any time there is a violation of the dress code, the student will be required to alter their attire to be within the code. This may require a simple change at school or possibly being sent home to change. Students may be required to attend ISS for the remainder of the school day if attire cannot be changed to be within in the code. Students who violate the dress code are subject to disciplinary action as follows: 1 st Offense: Documented Warning 2 nd & 3 rd Offense: 1 ASD each Continued violations may result in more severe consequences. 39
SMOKING/USE OF POSSESSION OF TOBACCO PRODUCTS POLICY Due to the Surgeon General’s published reports and various other studies, public concern for proven health hazards associated with tobacco products, KRS 438.050 which prohibits tobacco use and/or possession by students on school grounds or in school buildings, the following policy prohibiting tobacco use possession on school grounds at HCHS will be implemented. TOBACCO PROHIBITED Students shall not be permitted to use or possess any tobacco products on property owned or operated by the Board, inside Board-owned vehicles, on the way to and from school, or during school-sponsored trips and activities. Students who violate these prohibitions while under the supervision of the school shall be subject to penalties set froth in the local code of acceptable behavior and discipline. NOTE: Anytime a student is found to possess tobacco, lighters, rolling paper, or matches, these items will be confiscated and shall not be returned to the student. Confiscated tobacco products will be thrown away. Examples of violations to this policy include, but are not limited to: smoking anywhere on campus; possessing any tobacco product, lighters, rolling paper, empty tobacco containers, or matches on your person, in a locker, in a book bag, in a handbag, or otherwise; smokeless tobacco in teeth; and holding an unlit cigarette.
