A student’s conduct is related to his/her clothing. Therefore, the school is directly concerned with student dress. Boles Bulldogs follow the AISD Student Dress Code as outlined in the AISD Code of Conduct. Students are expected to dress in such a manner as to contribute to the academic environment, not detract from it. The school administration has the right to consider any current fashion to determine its acceptability for school wear. Clarification regarding apparel should be obtained PRIOR TO WEARING IT TO SCHOOL.
Students who violate the Dress Code will be referred to the office where they will have to correct the problem. They may be given clothing to wear, zip ties to hold up pants, or they may be asked to call a parent for replacement clothing. Students in violation of this dress code will be subject to disciplinary consequences as determined by the school’s administration. School district dress code applies to all school activities including dances.
Any clothing, accessories, symbols, jewelry or other paraphernalia, which depicts or suggests association with a gang, secret society, or fraternity, shall not be brought to school, worn to school, or in any way, be present at a school-sponsored event.
