The goal of the Belleview dress code is to ensure that students are dressed in a manner that is clean, neat, conservative, and modest. To enable our teachers to focus on learning rather than policing dress code, we strongly urge students to wear modest non-printed polos, t-shirts, blouses, etc. Our primary objective is to teach the values of appropriate dress rather than dictating detailed rules. Students should avoid extremes and practice moderation of any style. The administration retains the right to determine whether an individual student’s appearance meets these qualifications. Students who violate the dress code may be sent to the office to call parents to come and provide a change of clothes.

Dress code violations will result in the following disciplinary action:

• First Violation - Student will receive three (3) demerits, will be sent to the office for alternative clothing and to call a parent.
• Second Violation - Detention, $10.00 fine, parent will be notified to bring a change of clothes. Student will remain in office until parent arrives. Any classes missed will be considered unexcused.
• Third Violation - Student will be suspended for the remainder of the day.
• Further Violations will result in administrative action.
