Dress Code

Safety is the first and foremost consideration for any school. Schools in Conejo Valley Unified School District have established consistent dress codes for students. SCS has a high standard of dress. Students should dress in a manner that demonstrates pride in oneself, and that is not distracting to the educational process.

  • Suggestive or gang related clothing is banned from the campus.
  • Baggy, oversized, and / or too tight/provocative clothing is not appropriate for school.
    • Any clothing that is deemed unsafe to wear and interferes with the instructional program cannot be worn. 
    • Pants that slide down below the waistline and expose the undergarments or hang below the shoes are considered too baggy.
  • Shirts that expose the midriff (navel showing) are considered too provocative.
  • Tank tops with minimum 1-inch straps ONLY are allowed for both boys and girls. Any straps measuring less than one inch ARE NOT allowed.
  • Undergarments must not be visible.
  • SKIRTS AND SHORTS MUST BE a certain length i.e. put your arm down at your side, look at where your fingers lie against your leg, this length is ALLOWED at school.
  • Clothing that advertises alcoholic beverages, contains bad language, or other inappropriate slogans/pictures are also not allowed.
  • Hats can be worn to school (outside only), but we reserve the right to take a cap/hat away from any student if it disrupts the educational process.
  • Black L.A. Raiders’ jackets and shirts are not allowed.
  • Make-up, tattoos, dangerous jewelry, wallet chains, spikes, studs, safety pins, clothespins, and dyed hair are not permitted. 
  • Elementary students must wear closed toed shoes with a back strap that are appropriate for students to participate in normal P.E. activities and recess.
  • Heelys are not permitted on the Sycamore Canyon School campus.
  • Middle School students may wear open-toed shoes with back straps (ALL shoes must have back straps).
  • High heels ARE NOT allowed.

In the child’s K-8 years, we need to take an active role assisting our children in making smart choices. These standards were set up to ensure safety, a positive self-image, and a quality education. Thank you for your support.
