Dress Code Accountability
We believe that there is a standard of dress that should be maintained in an academic setting. Just like adults have dress expectations for their workplace, Conroe ISD has expectations for the learning environment. Therefore, students who are out of dress code will be sent to the front office to call home for a change of clothes. If the student continues to wear clothing that does not align with the CISD dress code, they will receive lunch detention. Repeated incidents could result in a referral with disciplinary consequences.
The dress code information below comes directly from the Conroe ISD Student Handbook.
K-6 Dress Code Expectations (page 22 of the Student Handbook)
The District prohibits pictures, emblems, or writings on clothing that are any of the following: lewd, violent, suggestive, offensive, vulgar or obscene, or advertise or depict tobacco products, alcoholic beverages, drugs, or any other substance prohibited under FNCF (LEGAL). Haltertops, muscle shirts, and spaghetti-straps tops are not permitted unless covered by another shirt. Midriff shirts, or shirts exposing the midsection of the body, are not permitted. Makeup/cosmetics may not be worn or applied at school. Hair and hairstyle cannot create a distraction. Students must ensure that all undergarments are covered. Students who choose to wear shorts to school must wear them at fingertip length when the student rests his/her arms at his/her side. Flip flops, slippers, or backless shoes may not be worn during P.E. classes. Shorts may be worn under dresses. Dresses and skirts should be appropriate length (fingertip) and tights should accompany shorter dresses, skirts or shorts. If students wear leggings, the shirt must cover their backside. If wearing jeans with rips/holes, please ensure the holes are knee-level and below. Students may not wear costumes or costume pieces to school, unless pre-approved by a teacher for a specific project. Students may not wear clothes that cause a distraction. Nothing in this section shall be construed as a ban on a protected hairstyle or a necessary accommodation as determined by a student’s ARD or Section 504 committee.
