Dress Code

Delta High School looks upon appropriate dress as a key component of the educational process.  Delta High School prepares students for success now and in the future.  Part of this preparation is teaching students how to dress appropriately for different occasions.  

Minimum standards of appropriate dress are required for everyday clothing, and business casual is recommended for everyday wear.  For some occasions, business casual or formal clothing may be required.  Some classes may also have requirements that are specific to an activity.

The following articles of clothing are not acceptable and may not be worn on campus during the school day or to any school-sponsored event, especially field trips.

• Any article of clothing or accessory that is deemed inappropriate by school personnel
• Any article of clothing or accessory that is obviously too large or too small for the wearer

Students who come to school dressed inappropriately will be asked to change.  Arrangements must be made for students to go home or for parents to bring clothes to school.  Some articles of clothing may be confiscated and will not be returned.  

Continued violations of school dress policies will be treated as insubordination with the resulting disciplinary action.



Identification Badges

All students will be required to have their school identification badges on their person at all times while on campus.  Students unable to produce their badge will face progressive disciplinary action, beginning with having to replace their badge at their own expense.
