Dress Code

Los Lunas Schools encourages a positive attitude toward the student's conduct and appearance. Dress and  grooming have a definite bearing on attitude and behavior.

Clothing and accessories should not be disruptive, immodest, or compromise student safety. Students shall come to school looking clean, neat, and ready to learn. The District prohibits pictures, emblems, or writings on materials or clothing that are lewd, offensive, vulgar, immodest, or promote or refer to alcoholic beverages, drugs, or any other illegal substance.

The District prohibits any clothing or grooming that in the administration’s judgment, may reasonably be expected to cause disruption of, or interference with, the educational process. Shirts or other clothing items depicting or promoting acts of violence, guns, weapons, death, dismemberment, disfigurement, gang activity or affiliation, offensive items, and/or bigotry towards other groups are specifically prohibited.

Note: As per the Los Lunas Schools Student Handbook, the responsibility to interpret and enforce the policy rests with each site administrator. Students will not be allowed to leave campus for the purpose of changing clothes. All Los Lunas School students are expected to be in compliance with the dress code at any school-related event or activity; school officials have the authority to ask them to leave if they are inappropriately dressed.

Note: The Administration, in connection with the sponsor, coach, or other person in charge of an extracurricular activity, may regulate the dress and grooming of students who participate in the activity and may impose higher standards.
