Dress Code 

 

The policy concerning dress and grooming at Durham Intermediate School shall be as follows:

 
     Boys
1. Hair should be clean and well groomed at all times and should not extend below the eyebrows or over the bottom of the collar of a regular shirt.
2. Boys shall not be allowed to wear earrings.
3. No tank tops or muscle shirts will be allowed.
4. Very short shorts, bike shorts, wind shorts, etc., are not appropriate for classroom wear. Form-fitting shorts or pants (i.e. bike shorts) are not permitted to be worn alone. If they are worn underneath walking length shorts or pants, the shorts or pants that are worn on the outer side need to be of appropriate length. Our guideline for determining appropriate length is that shorts must be first knuckle length of a fisted hand or longer. Students shall not be allowed to wear clothing that has hems that are frayed.
5. Pants should fit properly - not be baggy and not hang below the navel or at the hips.
6. Shirts must have sleeves or be small enough around the arms not to show skin beyond the arm pit.
 
     Girls
1. Dresses or skirts shall be a reasonable length in proportion to the height of the individual. Low-cut sun dresses are not acceptable. Foundation garments must be worn.
2. No bare midriffs or halter-tops or tank tops shall be worn. No backless attire is acceptable.
3. Very short shorts, bike shorts, wind shorts, etc., are not appropriate for classroom wear. Form-fitting shorts or pants (i.e. bike shorts) are not permitted to be worn alone. If they are worn underneath walking length shorts or pants, the shorts or pants that are worn on the outer side need to be of appropriate length. Our guideline for determining appropriate length is that shorts must be first knuckle length of a fisted hand or longer. Students shall not be allowed to wear clothing that has hems that are frayed.
4. Appropriate shoes should be worn for this age.
5. Age appropriate make-up. (This will be determined on individual student bases.)
 
     Student Body
1. Students will not wear slogan buttons or clothing with inappropriate or suggestive slogans or advertising on it.
2. Any clothing or grooming that, in the Principal’s judgment, may reasonably be expected to cause disruption of or interference with normal school operations is prohibited.
3. Dress for social functions and activities will be determined by the sponsors of those functions and announced prior to the occasion.
4. Clothing with holes or tears will not be permitted.
 
Students will be sent to the Nurse’s Office to change into appropriate attire, or parents of students who violate these basic rules of good appearance may be called and asked to correct the problem before the student may return to classes. Repeated violations will result in disciplinary actions by the building administrators.
