Dress Code
The faculty, staff and administration at Reagan High School believe that a student's dress and grooming has an effect upon their attitude and behavior. Disruption of the learning environment by the presence of unorthodox dress and grooming will not be permitted. The classroom is not the proper place to display outlandish, distracting, or inappropriate grooming and dress fads. Primarily the 1
st period teachers will monitor dress and grooming and all teachers are charged with the responsibility of enforcing student dress code in their classes, hallways and within campus boundaries. A student may be referred to the office at any time during the school day for advisement of attire. The following list will be a guide in determining appropriate/inappropriate student dress on campus.
