DWMS DRESS CODE & IDENTIFICATION BADGE POLICY


The Clark County School District reserves the right to insist that the dress and grooming of students are within the limits of generally accepted community standards and that students shall be required to show proper attire and adhere to personal cleanliness.

The school administration shall have the right to designate which types of dress, fashion, fads, or appearance disrupt or detract from the educational program and may be a potential safety hazard.  When you attend after-school activities or sporting events, please remember that the same dress code and behavior expectations apply.

The following guidelines are in accordance with the Clark County School District Regulation 5131, the CCSD Secondary Student Identification Badge Protocol, and are subject to change by the School Board of Trustees.

  • The school-issued ID badge with photo must be visible at all times. Students may use the school-issued lanyard or provide their own school-appropriate lanyard or badge clip to display it on their upper front torso.
  • Students are not permitted to alter their identification badges in any way and must not place stickers or make marks over their photo or barcode.
  • Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be at least fingertip length.
  • All jeans, pants, and shorts must be secured at the waist level.  Sagging is strictly prohibited.
  • Girls wearing leggings under their skirts, shorts, or dresses must still have a skirt, shorts, or dress of fingertip length.
  • Shirts or blouses must be appropriately buttoned in accordance with the design of the shirt.  No skin can show between the bottom of the shirt and the top of the pants or skirt.  Shirts must cover cleavage.
  • Transparent, see-through tops, bare midriff (no skin showing between the bottom of the shirt/blouse and the top of pants or skirts), strapless, low-cut clothing, clothing with slits, or tops and outfits that provide minimal coverage are not permitted.  All clothing must be sufficient to cover all undergarments.
  • Spaghetti straps are not allowed; all sleeveless shirts must have straps at least three inches wide and cover the shoulder.  No off-the-shoulder shirts are permitted.
  • Basketball/athletic jerseys must be worn with a sleeved shirt underneath.
  • Spiked and studded clothing, jewelry, and accessories are prohibited.
  • Jeans, pants, shorts, or skirts are not to have rips or tears that expose undergarments or have rips or tears that are located mid-thigh or higher.
  • Shoes must have soles.  Flip-flops, slides, backless shoes, house slippers, and shoes with wheels are not permitted.
  • Pajamas are prohibited.
  • Facial piercings are prohibited. Ear piercings are permitted.  Clear spacers are required instead of the piercing. No spiked gauges are allowed.
  • Hats, hoods, caps, bandanas, sunglasses, and hair grooming aids are not permitted on campus, except for designated school-approved uniforms at authorized athletic practices or activities, documented medical conditions, or bona fide religious reasons.
  • Slogans or advertising on clothing, jewelry, buttons, or accessories that, by their controversial, discriminatory, profane, or obscene nature, disrupt the educational setting are not permitted.
  • Outerwear, such as coats and gloves, must be removed upon entering the classrooms/buildings.
  • Wallet chains are prohibited.
