Dress Code

Dress Code

In an effort to maintain a safe and orderly campus, as well as sustain a strong focus on academic achievement, the Clark school community will follow the following Dress Code for all students. Dress code enforcement begins from the moment a student enters the campus until they leave the campus at the end of the day. The dress code applies to field trips and all other school-related activities, including participation in Prime Time activities. Students who violate the dress code will be sent to the office to change. Parents/guardians will be contacted and required to bring a change of clothing. Multiple violations will result in disciplinary action and the parent/guardian will be contacted. Adhering to the dress code is one way students show that they wish to be a part of the Clark Middle School community.

All students will dress in clothing that meets the following criterion:

  • NO advertising or promoting of alcohol, drugs, tobacco products, gambling, weapons, gangs, violence or other vulgar or sexually provocative content.

  • NO words or pictures that negatively represent any gender, race, color, ethnicity, religion, national origin, disability or sexual orientation.
