Dress Code Policy (previously posted)

As the weather gets warmer, please be reminded of our school's dress code highlighted below:

A student's appearance should not be a distraction/disruption to the learning environment of any other student. Instruction is interrupted when a student has to be seen by an administrator because of inappropriate clothing. The guidelines for student dress are not intended to be punitive, but to promote academic success. The administration may have to address students whose clothing is disruptive to the learning environment.


The following guidelines are to promote a positive learning environment for SECKINGER Students:


Avoid any attire that includes, but is not limited to, the following:

  • Attire in which undergarments are visible
  • Attire that exposes the buttocks, midriff area, or with low or revealing necklines.
  • No headgear is to be worn inside (Exceptions are granted by the administration)
  • Any attire that depicts, promotes, or advertises gang affiliation, illegal activity, illegal drugs, alcohol or tobacco, sexual references, and offensive words or designs
  • Jewelry or accessories that could be deemed unsafe or injurious to self or others
  • House-slippers are not permitted
  • No blankets or pillows


Disciplinary consequences will be issued for any student not adhering to the dress code.
