Little Miami students will be expected to come to school clean and neat and to maintain an acceptable standard of social behavior and dress according to the standard generally approved by the community and as defined by the Little Miami Board of Education. While parents and students have the responsibility for these matters, the school will not permit immodest apparel and clothing. Any student who dresses in such a manner as to call undue attention to him/herself will be removed from class and required to make appropriate changes of their attire and/or appearance. 1. Contact with both the student and his or her parents will be made when the dress code is violated. If necessary, a request to change or cover the clothing will be made. The student may be sent home to rectify the situation. Repeated occurrences will subject the student to disciplinary action.
