CECHS Dress Code from our CECHS Student Handbook:

STUDENT DRESS REGULATIONS/GUIDELINES

GUIDELINES

A student dress code is established to ensure that every student has a safe environment in which to learn, promote good grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruption or distraction, avoid safety hazards, and encourage respect for authority.  The District prohibits appearance and dress, which in the building administrator or designee's judgment, may reasonably be expected to violate the purpose of the student dress code.  This dress code will be enforced during regular school hours and when participating in activities where students represent the school.  Any exceptions require administrative approval.

VIOLATIONS

Violations of this Code include, but are not limited to:

1. Clothing that promotes gang affiliation.

2. Shorts and skirts shorter than three inches above the knee.

3. See-through clothing (net, gauze, etc.).  

4. Spandex or form-fitting clothing.

5. Clothing exposing the navel, midriff, cleavage, or underwear.

6. Clothing with pictures, emblems, or writings that are sexually suggestive,

   obscene or offensive.

1. Clothing that promotes the use of drugs, tobacco, alcohol, or weapons.

2. Tank tops (boys or girls), spaghetti-strap dresses or blouses, tube tops or halter-tops.  (All tops should have straps across the shoulders that are at least three inches across.)

3. Headgear (boys or girls) in the building.  (This includes bandanas.)

4. Drug paraphernalia jewelry.

5. Bare feet.

6. Clothing, accessories, and jewelry that present a hazard to the student’s safety or disrupt the learning process.  Example:  Body chains (other than necklaces or bracelets), spiked jewelry, gloves.

7. Heelies (shoes with wheels)

8. Pajamas/House Slippers (unless authorized for special days).

10. Students may not wear rings or jewelry in pierced locations on their body other than the ear. 

11. No offensive or large tattoos that are visible.

Coaches and Activity sponsors may impose additional dress code standards that ensure safety and/or higher standards required for the integrity of their programs.  Any additional requirements will be published to participants.  NOTE:  Students wearing clothing that is determined to possibly be concealing contraband are also subject to search.

Students enrolled in dual credit or college-level classes are subject to dress code requirements of Southeast New Mexico College (SENMC) and ECHS; the most restrictive policy applies.
