Dress Code

DRESS AND APPEARANCE CODE STANDARDS**

Personal appearance of students is important to their success. Students should dress in a way that shows they are serious about the responsibility of getting an education at Estrellita High School.

1. It is important to note here that there is a difference between what is appropriate on a high school campus and what is appropriate in a private company, at the beach, or in one's own backyard.

2. Section 302 of the California Administrative Code requires that students give proper attention to personal cleanliness and neatness of dress. These terms will have to be interpreted continuously by the School Principal.

3. Estrellita High School has personal appearance standards, which have to be fairly specific to conform to court rulings. If appearance or attire detracts from the classroom in any way, the student will be expected to make the necessary changes. If in doubt, ASK FIRST.
