Appendix II. LISD Dress Code - Administrative Rules
The following guidelines are established as a point of reference for parents, students
and administrators in regards to dress. All students must be clean and neatly
groomed. The administration reserves the right to determine any inappropriate dress
that it feels is disruptive to the school environment.
• Hair, by color or design, may not create a distraction to the learning environment.
Hair should be primarily a natural color. Non-natural accents such as dye streaks or
color strips may be permitted, but may not cover more than 25% of the hair.
• Students may not wear the following: tongue rings, lip rings, eyebrow rings, ear
gauges, spacers, facial jewelry such as hoops or rings, or facial decorations. Students
may, however, wear one small nose stud.
• Caps, hats, sweatbands, bandannas, hair rollers, hair curlers, and other similar hair
grooming items, shall not be worn by male or female students in the school
building.
• Students may not wear clothing that advertises by name or symbol any products that
are not permitted in schools, including, but not limited to the following: drugs,
alcohol, profanity or suggestive slogans, tobacco, obscenity, violence or gangs.

length, at or about mid-thigh or longer, at the natural waistline.
• Female students may wear long pants of appropriate length, skirts or shorts of
appropriate length, at or about mid-thigh or longer.

inappropriate or offensive for school in general, shall not be allowed, including, but
not limited to the following: trench coats, mini-skirts, halter or tube tops, split sides,
midriffs, bare shoulder tops, see-through clothing, fish net tops, or running/spandex
shorts.

both front and back.
