Student Dress Code
General guidelines for the student dress code at Mulberry High School are sent home with students the first week of school in the student handbook /MHS folder and also reviewed with students in full detail with examples during class meetings the first week of each semester. School-wide scripts are read each day of the first week of each semester to review general guidelines, including one day for dress code. On Day 2, each teacher reads the student dress code policy the first ten minutes of each class period for a full day and other policies are reviewed on the other days that week.
Staff members will send students who are out of dress code compliance to the discipline office to see an administrator. The offense will be documented, and the student will be sent back to class with a dress code slip, unless a change of clothing is required. These students may be held until a change of clothes can be obtained. Classroom teachers are responsible for checking student dress each period and referring students to the office who are out of dress code compliance.
Every student is expected to dress in a manner which is appropriate for the learning environment while maintaining an appearance which complies with the adopted school dress code. Violations of the dress code includes all items deemed unacceptable by the administration and will not be permitted. Inappropriate attire is any clothing that disrupts the educational process, threatens the learning environment, or endangers the health or safety of students or any other persons. Students in violation of the dress code will be documented and expected to get a change of clothes. Repeated offenses will result in disciplinary action. Parents should monitor their students' dress daily before they leave home; doing so could prevent any hardships that might develop.
