Rockwall ISD
PURPOSE The District's dress code is established to teach grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption, avoid safety hazards, and teach respect for authority.
GENERAL GUIDELINES Students shall be dressed and groomed in a manner that is clean and neat, that exhibits good taste, and that will not be a health or safety hazard to themselves or others. The District prohibits any clothing or grooming that in the principal's judgment may reasonably be expected to cause disruption of or interference with normal school operations.
SPECIFIC GUIDELINES Students shall adhere to the following dress code:
1. Shorts of a modest length and fit (approximately fingertip length, loose-fitting, and hemmed) may be worn by students, as designated by the building principal.
2. Dresses/skirts should be no shorter than fingertip length and of modest fit.
3. Students are not permitted to wear see-through clothing or to have midriff areas exposed.
4. Students are required to wear shoes at all times.
5. Clothing normally considered as undergarments (e.g., muscle shirts, tank tops, and the like) are not permitted to be worn as shirts.
6. Extremely sloppy or torn clothing is not permitted.
7. Students are required to wear their hair above the eyes, well-groomed, and clean at all times; modes of hair design and color that detract from the learning process shall not be allowed.
8. Facial hair, such as beards, mustaches, and goatees are not permitted. Dermatological conditions shall be considered.
9. Males shall not be allowed to wear earrings.
10. Clothing, shoes or boots, jewelry, or grooming styles associated with gangs or particular groups, unless they are approved by the District, are not allowed.
11. Clothing shall not advocate nor advertise drug use, alcohol use, tobacco use, or violence, nor display profane or obscene slogans or symbols.
12. Hats are not to be worn in the building.
The student and parent may determine the student's personal dress and grooming standards, provided that they comply with the guidelines and dress code set out above, as well as any guidelines outlined in the student handbook.
VIOLATIONS
GROOMING
If the principal determines that a student's grooming violates the dress code, the student shall be given an opportunity to correct the problem at school. If not corrected, the student shall be assigned to in-school suspension for the remainder of the day or until the problem is corrected.
DRESS
A student whose clothing violates the dress code shall be assigned to in-school suspension either for the remainder of the day or until a parent or designee brings an acceptable change of clothing to the school.
Repeated dress code offenses may result in more serious disciplinary action. Appropriate discipline procedures shall be followed in all cases in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. [See FO series]
EXTRACURRICULAR ACTIVITIES The principal, in cooperation with the sponsor, coach, or other person in charge of an extracurricular activity, may regulate the dress and grooming of students who participate in the activity. Students who violate dress and grooming standards established for such an activity may be removed or excluded from the activity for a period determined by the principal or sponsor, and may be subject to other disciplinary action, as specified in the Student Code of Conduct

Thrust - We have had the stand up one's beliefs several times already. I prepare my children for dealing with the real world. To stand up for themselves, to fight back and don't let people walk over you. In this instance fighting back was his decision and for me to fight it w/o his consent wouldn't be right. Even though I really want to do it. I put myself in his shoes and I wouldn't want school authorities breathing down my neck looking for minor violations just because I fought basically a "grey area" of the dress code. Especially knowing how vindictive people are.
