All students shall come to school in a comfortable manner that allows them to be authentically who they are, while also complying with the District’s dress code policies. The District will ensure to avoid gender stereotypes (i.e. girls must wear skirts) and to be gender neutral so as to not require particular clothing based on gender or gender identity.

Clothing normally worn when participating in school sponsored extracurricular or sports activities (such as cheerleading uniforms and the like) may be worn to school when approved by the sponsor or coach.
