Dress Code

FUSD would like to thank its students, families and community for its feedback regarding the District’s dress code. The Board believes that appropriate dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment and expects students to wear clothing that is suitable for the school activities in which they participate. Students shall not wear clothing that presents a health or safety hazard, or is likely to cause a substantial disruption to the educational program. Each site is to inform parents and/or legal guardians and students in writing of its dress code at the beginning of the school year and whenever the dress code is revised. The dress code for each school is in AR 5132.

Follow these guidelines and help us toward our goal of providing the best educational environment possible.
