LPS-Richmond Dress Code

LPS-Richmond teachers and administration believe that all students have the potential to achieve greatness. Thus, the job of every LPS-Richmond student is to strive to reach this potential in all that s/he does each day at school. To support students in reaching this goal, the teachers and administration expect the following school-wide policies to be followed by all students.

Dress Code

Dress code applies before, during, and after school for as long as the student remains on campus, or as long as the student is participating in a school-related activity that requires dress code adherence. The only exception to this rule is when the administration has announced a free dress day or for special events.

SHIRTS, SWEATERS, SWEATSHIRTS, VESTS, JACKETS, and COATS

• Students must wear a collared shirt that is a SOLID COLOR other than red or blue.  No stripes, large logos or other designs are allowed on the collared shirts. LPS-Richmond designed shirts and college shirts may be worn as well.
• The collared shirt must be worn on top of any other layers of shirts, and the shirts underneath may not hang below the collared shirt.
• No large logos, embroidery or other large designs are allowed on collared shirts.
• All shirts must have sleeves (except vests worn over a shirt with sleeves) and must be long enough to cover the midriff.

PANTS, SHORTS, SKIRTS, or CAPRIS

• Must be solid black, khaki, white, gray or purple.
• No logos, stripes, embroidery, large name brand markers, or other designs.
• No sag and drag, baggy pants.  Wear a belt; pants must sit at waist.
• No jeans, denim, nylon, spandex, or sweat pants allowed. These items may not be worn at any time, not even showing under your other pants or layers of clothing.
• Shorts must also be solid black, khaki, white, or gray. They should be of appropriate length for school – neither too long nor too short. Shorts must be no shorter than mid-thigh.

ACCESSORIES

• No hats, scarves, bandanas, doo rags, hoods, or head coverings are allowed in the office or in classrooms.
• No decorative teeth covering or grills.
• No predominately red or blue accessories.
