Review the 2012-2013 Dress Code Before School Starts


Dress Code

Serra students are expected to dress appropriately for school, with respect for themselves and their classmates. Any student who violates our dress code must change into appropriate clothes in order to attend classes.

Students are expected to use good judgment, safety, good taste, and modesty regarding their dress and grooming. Any clothes considered to be disruptive to the educational process is inappropriate for school.

Appropriate is defined as, but not limited to:
o Stomachs must be covered and shirts must touch the top of pants at all times.

o Straps must be a minimum of 1 inch wide.
o Tops and blouses may not be too revealing.
o Leggings and yoga pants must be covered with a long shirt or tunic, which is as long or longer as the shorts and skirts requirement.
o Undergarments must be covered at all times.
o Pants must be worn at the waist.Students are expected to exercise good judgment, safety, good taste and modesty regarding their dress and grooming. Any clothing considered to be disruptive to the educational process is inappropriate for school.

According to the Insurance Institute for Highway Safety, the largest number of teen involved car crashes occur in the summer months of June, July and August.  Because the San Diego Unified School District Police Department wants all teen drivers to be safe this summer, we invite you to attend a safe driving program for 15-19 year-old teen driver and soon-to-be drivers and their parents.
