1 STUDENT DRESS CODE Cuyahoga Falls High School recognizes that each student s mode of dress and grooming is a manifestation of personal style and individual preference. However, that style and individualization must also meet the dress code standards. CFHS also recognizes that the primary responsibility for students dress and grooming rests with the students and parents. It is further recognized that student dress has an impact on the learning climate of a school and therefore a committee of staff, students, and parents has developed these guidelines. 1. Student dress should be neat, clean, in good taste, and in styles appropriate to the educational climate of the school. Appropriate dress should be similar to what would be appropriate for an informal workplace or place of business. Student dress should not attract any unusual attention or comment from other students, teachers, administrators, or visitors to our school. 2. As a general rule, all clothes and proper undergarments should be worn as designed and fit appropriately. Student dress should not expose the midriff, shoulders, back, or undergarments. 3. Novelty signs and patches must be of acceptable taste for school-wear. Students will not be permitted to wear clothing and/or accessories that display drugs, alcohol, tobacco products, illegal substances, or anti-social behaviors. Profanity, obscenity, and sexual innuendoes on any clothing or accessories are prohibited. 4. Examples of inappropriate clothing and accessories that are not permitted in school are as follows: a. Hats, hoods, headbands, jackets, coats, head coverings, scarves, gloves and bandanas are not to be worn in the building and are to be kept in assigned lockers. Bandanas worn by males are not permitted. All hair bands and bandanas worn by female students must be approximately two inches in width, must be worn off the forehead and must be holding back hair. b. Chains, studded bracelets, or collars, and other articles, which may be potentially harmful and/or destructive. Body piercing (other than the ears) is not permitted. c.

Students in violation of the Cuyahoga Falls High School Dress Codes will be given the opportunity to remedy the appropriate dress or will be assigned to the in-school detention room for the rest of the school day.
