With the warm weather upon us, it’s a good time for a quick reminder about the PRJUSD dress code.
Our dress code is intentionally straightforward. In short: dress appropriately for a school environment, and dress safely.
Students are welcome to express their personal style and dress comfortably for the weather. We simply ask that:
🔹 Undergarments remain covered.
🔹 The chest, midriff, and buttocks are appropriately covered.
🔹 Clothing is not see-through in a way that exposes undergarments or areas that should be covered at school.
🔹 Clothing may not contain vulgar, obscene, profane, or sexually suggestive content; promote alcohol, drugs, to***co, or illegal activity; or display symbols associated with intimidation, violence, or violent groups.
🔹 Accessories, including chains or spikes, may not create a safety hazard or be capable of being used as a weapon.
🔹 Students wear footwear appropriate for school activities.
🔹 Faces remain visible, with exceptions for medical, religious, or cultural reasons.
Yes—it’s hot outside. Students should absolutely dress with the weather in mind. Shorts, tank tops, T-shirts, and other warm-weather clothing can all be perfectly appropriate for school while still meeting the same basic expectations. Additionally, all classrooms are air conditioned, meaning that students spend the majority of the school day in a climate-controlled environment.
Part of preparing students for life beyond school is helping them understand that different settings come with different expectations for dress and conduct. At school, our goal is to maintain a safe, respectful learning environment while giving students plenty of room to be comfortable and express their personal style. These expectations apply to all students, regardless of gender, and the same standards for coverage and safety apply to everyone.
