The St. Croix District Superintendent of Schools advises parents, guardians, students and the general public of the mandated dress code requirements for district public schools. “The dress code for students in the St. Croix District should be appropriate for the school’s environment. As a general rule, what you wear is not to distract either the teacher or your fellow students from the learning process. Clothing which displays offensive slogans, pictures or messages is not allowed. Failure to follow these guidelines will result in the student being sent home until the correction(s) to their attire has/have been made. The St. Croix District has a zero tolerance. policy toward prejudice of any form,” said St. Croix District Superintendent of Schools Gary Molloy.

All students are to be appropriately dressed and groomed. Any style of dress which threatens the health and safety of the individual student, or the student body as a whole, or which disrupts the learning process, or tends to cause a break down in the morale or general discipline of the school is prohibited. Also, students whose dress or style of grooming so violates the dress code, that it is unsafe, unsanitary, indecent, or so ridiculous as to cause comment and commotion in the classroom will not be permitted to class. Violations of the uniform policy in part or its entirety will result in disciplinary action, to include being sent home until proper adjustments are made.
