A student wearing any form of dress or hairstyle identifying him with a gang, cult or other unauthorized student group or representing or symbolizing the beliefs of such a group will be required to correct his dress or appearance.

A student who is sent home to correct his grooming problem will be absent on an unexcused basis for that period of time. In the event that a parent cannot be reached to remove a student from school to correct his grooming, the student will be placed in the extension center. Discipline consequences may also result for Grooming Code violations.
