• Student Dress Code

    The following guidance shall govern the dress of students in RCCSD schools. The RCCSD believes that:

    ● All students should be provided the environment, resources and commitment necessary to ensure that they succeed.
    ● Students and their parents/guardians hold the primary responsibility in determining their personal attire, hairstyle, jewelry, etc.
    ● Schools are responsible for ensuring that student dress does not interfere with the health or safety of any student and does not contribute to a hostile or intimidating environment for any student.
    ● Schools are responsible for the safety of the school community.
    ● Students should be able to dress in a manner that expresses their individuality without fear of unnecessary discipline or body shaming.
    ● Students and staff are responsible for managing their own personal distractions.
    ● Students should not face unnecessary barriers to attending school. Specialized Classes/Programs
