The Palm Beach County School District recognizes the importance of providing a school environment that will strongly support learning in the classrooms. Appropriate dress and grooming can help create that focus. Clothing should be clean and neat in appearance and hair should be neatly groomed. If the student’s style or manner of dress becomes a disruptive factor or safety hazard, the administration shall discreetly ask that it be changed.
