AWTREY DRESS CODE

Thank you in advance for helping our students dress for success! We want to thank the amazing level of feedback we received about our school dress code, and we listened to students, parents, and staff to help make changes for the upcoming school year. The dress code below can be found in our Student Handbook on our school website, as well as in our Student Agendas. Please contact the school office with any questions about our dress code. We’re excited to help our students get ready for the new school year!

 

DRESS CODE

All students in the Cobb County School District are required to observe a standard of grooming and dress consistent with the level of formality of the school situation. They shall be required to maintain the level of personal hygiene necessary to ensure a healthy school environment and to refrain from any mode of dress that may cause a disruption of school functions. Dress appropriateness shall be determined by school administration.

 

Our primary goal is for all students to have the “7 Bs” covered (backs, bellies, boxers, bras, breasts, briefs, and butts) even when students bend over or are wearing a backpack (which often causes shorts and shirts to ride up). Leggings, jeggings, holes in jeans, shorts, and skirts are permissible as long as the 7 “B”s remain covered by fabric all the way around (even when they bend over).  

 

General Dress Code

  • Appropriate undergarments must be worn and may not be visible. Clothing may not be see-through, or any other sheer material.
  • Slippers and rollers in shoes are prohibited. Slides are not acceptable for PE.
  • Clothing and accessories may not contain suggestive phrases, designs, profanity, “gang-wear”, or depict illegal activity or substances.
  • Blankets should not be worn. No stuffed animals or other toys should be brought to school.
  • Caps, hats, bandanas, and do-rags shall not be worn unless for an approved spirit day. More formal head dress is permissible with administrator approval.  
  • Headphones, AirPods, and earbuds should not be seen and should be put away unless permission is received.

 

Pants/Slacks/Shorts/Skirts

  • Must be worn at the natural waistline and not sag, exposing undergarments or gym shorts.
  • Pajama pants, flannel pants, or similar pants are not permitted.
  • Leggings/Spandex should be accompanied with a shirt that covers the buttocks.

 

Shirts/Tops/Blouses/Sweaters/Sweatshirts

  • Hoodies are permitted, but hoods should not be worn over the head.
  • Shirt/top straps must be at least 3 fingers wide.
  • Halter tops, strapless garments, or spaghetti straps must be worn with a jacket or sweater that covers both shoulders.
  • One-shoulder or off-the-shoulder shirts are not permitted.
  • Crop tops are not permitted.

 

Student Dress Code Self-Check

Each day during homeroom, students will be reminded to conduct a self-check of the dress code. A dress code self-check helps the student ensure their attire aligns with the school’s dress code. This daily self-check also serves as a student’s warning.

 

Dress Code Violations

A staff member will make a student aware of a dress code issue/violation. The student should correct the issue and not repeat it. A parent will be notified of a dress code issue or violation, and whether it was resolved or requires support.

 

Students will be given the opportunity to change into a school-owned t-shirt for the day and return it for washing. If a student asks if something is appropriate at home, the best rule of thumb is not to wear it. The student will be given an opportunity to call parents if suitable replacement clothing is not available.

 

If a student is asked to adjust dress in order to meet dress code (i.e., remove hat/hoody or keep jacket on) and later, he or she returns to the former mode of dress that does not meet dress code, the student may be referred to administration for insubordination, and a minor infraction may be earned.

 

Students may be asked to call parents to bring appropriate clothing if needed. The student may be assigned to ISS if appropriate clothing cannot be provided to the student or if there are repeated violations of the dress code.

 

Administrative consequences for dress code violations (new start each quarter):

Offense 1: Warning

Offense 2: Administrative Detention (discipline referral)

Offense 3: In-School Suspension/ISS (discipline referral)
