STUDENT DRESS CODE
Students should be dressed and groomed in a manner which will not interfere with or detract from the academic process nor create a health or safety risk for any student. Students must observe the District’s K-12 Dress Code Policy which prohibits the following unacceptable dress:
• Clothing, jewelry, and personal items that a student has including notebooks, book covers, magazines, drawings, pictures, fanny packs, gym bags, water bottles, backpacks, clothing, or any other item that disrupts the instructional process
• Hats other than unaltered school approved hats (properly worn)
• Oversized clothing such as shorts, pants, coats, etc. Pants or shorts must fit at the waist
• Items that promote hate, intolerance or violence
• Unsafe jewelry and accessories, including wallet chains and belts hanging from the waist
• Visible undergarments
• Clothing with profanity, that is too tight, revealing or sexually provocative
• Clothing with pictures, insignia or brand names for controlled substances, tobacco or alcohol
• Bandannas
• Unsafe footware including flip flops or slippers
• Raiders and Kings clothing and any additional articles of clothing or accessories identified by the HUSD School Police Department as being gang or hate group related will be forbidden on campus
Note: Please refrain from coloring students’ hair (other than natural hair colors), except during Spirit Day activities, as this can lead to disruptions of the educational environment.
Along with the District’s Dress Code, Krystal School of Science, Math Technology will be implementing an additional dress policy. Students will be required to wear collared shirts (polo/buttoned) in solid shades of blue, black, or white. Stripes and graphics are not permitted. In addition, students need to wear pants, shorts, skirts, “skorts,” or capris that are navy blue, black, or khaki. On Fridays, students are allowed to wear jeans and a “school spirit” or college-themed shirt. Students do not have to dress differently on Fridays, however. In addition, for the safety of our kids, if students wear sandals, they must wear sandals with "closed toes" and a strap on the back. This can help prevent injuries to feet. Students need to have the capability to participate in physical education, and inappropriate shoes can be a hindrance.
DRESS CODE CLARIFICATION: If students wear a jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater inside the classroom, these need to be the school uniform colors (blue, black, white, khaki). If the jacket, sweatshirt, or sweater are worn outside only, other colors are okay.
When students violate the dress code, a parent will be contacted and may be asked to bring appropriate clothing to school. If we are unable to reach a parent, the student will be loaned a suitable garment or be asked to turn the article of clothing inside out for the day (if appropriate) and the student will take a note of explanation home to the parent. Thank you for your support in following our dress code and for helping us provide a suitable learning environment.
