DRESS CODE VIOLATION STEPS:

Should a staff member find a student in violation of the dress code policy as outlined above, the dress code will be addressed by the following:

1st offense: Parent/guardian will be notified for support

2nd offense: Student will be asked to change

3rd offense: Student will receive a consequence

Our dress code correlates with our mission to create a safe environment where all 

students are challenged and empowered to reach their highest potential.  To that end, the Cimarron dress code highlights the following values:

• Students and parents/guardians understand their primary responsibility to appropriate grooming and dress, which contributes to a productive learning environment.
• Students are allowed to dress comfortably for school to engage fully in the educational process.
• Students understand that they are responsible for managing their own appearance.

School administration and staff will consistently enforce dress code policies as outlined.  Dress code will apply to all students regardless of racial identity, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, cultural or religious identity, household income, and body size/type.  Student safety and dignity will be respected at all times.  Dress code will be addressed with parents and  students individually and confidentially.
