School Dress

School is the business and professional work environment for students. Clothing should be appropriate for school and school activities and should not distract from the learning environment. Clothing includes all forms of personal appearance including, but not limited to, shirts, pants, skirts, shoes, hats, jewelry, emblems, and badges. Determination of “inappropriate or classroom-disruptive clothing” will be at the discretion of TVHS staff members.
 
To create a safe environment that focuses first and foremost on student achievement, students at TVHS will abide by the following dress guidelines of modesty, safety, and cleanliness.

MODESTY means that clothing should not be sexually revealing, indecent, transparent, or in any way disruptive to the learning process.  

  • Clothing must cover underwear, the back, the chest (including cleavage), and 
  • buttocks, whether sitting or standing. 
  • Half shirts, short-shorts, see-through shirts, mesh shirts, are inappropriate for 
  • school dress. 
  • Clothing should not create a safety hazard, be intimidating to other students, or create an unsafe learning environment in the classroom. Students cannot wear nor have on their person anything that may be a danger to themselves or others. Examples include, but are not limited to: 
  • Clothing promoting alcohol, drugs, tobacco, gang affiliation (as determined by the Loveland Police Department Gang Unit), sexuality, profanity, racial discrimination, or any illegal activity. 
  • Any jewelry or accessories which can be used as a weapon including spiked jewelry or chains of any kind. 
  • Shoes or sandals must be worn at all times. 
  • Hats should not be a distraction to the learning environment. The appropriateness of hats will be left to the discretion of the staff. 

CLEANLINESS means that the physical appearance of students shall not interfere with the learning environment by offending sanitary conditions and common standards of cleanliness in our culture. Students who need consultation with this will be referred to the school nurse.
