Viewmont High School Dress Code Policy |
The Board of Education of the Davis County School District recognizes that standards of proper dress and grooming affect the behavior of students. School administrators, teachers, and parents need clear dress and grooming guidelines so that rules of dress and discipline can be enforced consistently.
Viewmont High School Students will be expected to comply with the following guidelines:
Hair should be styled in a clean and well-groomed manner.
No startling or disruptive hairdos.
Shoes must be worn at all times.
Clothing shall not be worn which may disrupt, call undue attention to, or interfere with school functions.
Clothing shall be of modest design. All shirts must have a sleeve! No tank tops, bare midriffs, bare stomach, off-the-shoulder blouses, backless or sheer fabrics. Entire torso must be covered at all times.

Short shorts, short skirts, and short dresses will not be accepted. They must be “finger-tip” length.
Clothing shall be neat and clean. “Grunge” or “grubbies” are not acceptable.

Students may clear the Administrative “U” by adhering to dress code standards during the probationary period (the remainder of the term for which the infraction occurred and the entire term following) or by the standard school procedure for clearing citizenship U’s. Students who violate the dress code standards again will not only receive another Administrative “U”, but a one-day suspension and mandatory meeting with the student, parent, and administrator. |
