EISENHOWER HIGH SCHOOL DRESS CODE
In accordance with Education Code Section 85291.5, the administration at Eisenhower
High School has adopted the following Dress Code Policy with the intent that
students must be dressed and groomed in an appropriate manner that will not
interfere with or distract from the educational environment. THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION’S
DECISION REGARDING ANY ATTIRE RELATED TO THE ESTABLISHED DRESS GUIDELINES WILL
PREVAIL.
The administration has a responsibility to adopt rules and procedures (Education
Code, Section 85291.5) so that the school and students are free from the threats
or harmful influences of any groups or gangs which advocate substance abuse
or disruptive behavior. The administration, therefore, prohibits the presence
of any apparel, jewelry, accessory, notebook, trademark, graffiti or any other
attribute, which denotes membership in such a group. School/District personnel
have the responsibility to protect the health and safety of students and to
maintain proper and appropriate conditions which promote learning. (RUSD
Dress Code Policy)
Parents/Guardians have the primary responsibility to see that students comply
with the Eisenhower High School Dress Code. The following is designed to serve
as clarification and definition of some of the dress code guidelines and should
be considered when planning what your students will be wearing to school.
Consequences
All students are expected to comply with the Eisenhower High School Dress
Code. Failure to comply will result in disciplinary action up to and including
suspension from school. Students who violate the Dress Code will receive demerits.
The number of demerits assigned will progressively increase each time a student
violates the dress code and may result in suspension for habitual defiance
of school rules.
