Standardized Dress Code

DRESS CODE POLICY

Giano’s dress code is designed to be conducive to student learning and to allow students to express themselves without being a distraction or harming others. Logos or words on clothing must be appropriate for school (no curse words or innuendos/references to violence, drugs, tobacco, or alcohol). Additionally, all students are expected to adhere to the following guidelines:

Pants, Shorts, Skirts, and Dresses

Cannot be worn below the waist (no sagging or exposed underwear)
Dresses, skirts, jumpers, or shorts cannot be shorter than mid-thigh
No pajamas

Shirts

Sheer (see-through) material must have a full-length solid shirt beneath
No halters, tank tops, spaghetti straps, plunging necklines, tube tops, bare midriffs, or bare backs

Shoes and Socks

Closed-toed shoes only (No sandals or slippers of any kind)
No backless or high-heeled shoes

Miscellaneous or Accessories

Hats, caps, beanies, or hoodies can be worn outdoors only
Jewelry must be safe for school activities
Headphones/earbuds cannot be worn in any classroom
PE clothes may not be worn outside of PE class
