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.
