District Dress Code for 2026–2027
Our district’s dress code is designed to reflect this reality, helping students develop habits that will support their success in future jobs and professional settings. In addition, appropriate dress supports a focused, respectful learning environment and promotes personal responsibility, self-respect, and awareness of how appearance can impact others.
Dress and Grooming (All Grade Levels)
Grooming Standards
Students should maintain personal hygiene and grooming habits that reflect readiness for school and work. This includes clean clothing, moderate scents, and hairstyles or grooming that do not disrupt the learning environment or create safety concerns.
Special Events and Exceptions
- Administrators may set specific dress guidelines for events, performances, spirit days, sports uniforms, or field trips.
- Students engaged in workplace or industry training must follow all relevant expectations for dress, grooming, and Personal Protective Equipment (PPE).
- Reasonable accommodations will be made for students’ religious, cultural, or medical needs. Please contact a campus administrator for assistance.
Head and Facial Coverings
Head coverings may be worn while passing between buildings, but must be removed indoors unless required for religious or medical reasons. School or district administration may require documentation to support religious or medical exemptions. Headbands that are no wider than three inches may be worn throughout the school day.
Facial coverings are not permitted unless required for a documented medical condition.
Backpacks
All backpacks must be clear or mesh.
Not Permitted at Any Grade Level
- Clothing with images, logos, or language that is offensive, vulgar, sexually suggestive, or promotes drugs, alcohol, weapons, tobacco, violence, or illegal activity. See policy FNCF(LEGAL).
- Bottoms with holes, tears, frays, or cuts that reveal skin above the knee.
- Torn or see-through clothing.
- Gang-related symbols or paraphernalia as identified by local law enforcement or school officials.
- Pajamas, slippers, blankets, or items intended for sleepwear.
- Clothing or accessories that expose undergarments, including sagging pants and sheer fabrics without appropriate layers.
- Items that present safety risks, such as chains, spikes, or accessories that could be used as weapons.
Compliance
Students must comply with the dress code at all times while on campus, attending school functions, or representing the school in any capacity.
Enforcement
When a student’s attire or grooming violates the dress code, they will be asked to correct it in a respectful and discreet manner. Options may include, but are not limited to, changing into appropriate attire, adjusting the item, calling home for a change of clothes, etc. Repeated or serious violations may result in disciplinary action in accordance with the Student Code of Conduct. Final decisions about dress code concerns will be made by campus administrators, using professional judgment and the standards outlined above.

Tops
○ Polo-style shirts in white, red, or blue are required.

Footwear
Shoes must be worn at all times. Closed-toe shoes may be required in labs, gyms, and shop areas for safety.
Student Identification
Students are expected to wear their school ID at all times, just like many workplaces require employees to display badges for safety, security, and professionalism. IDs must be worn on a lanyard around the neck or clipped to the shirt, with the photo clearly visible at all times. IDs may not be covered, defaced, or altered in any way.
High School
The high school student dress code is designed to help students develop habits that support success in school, work, and life. In nearly all careers, there are expectations for how employees present themselves to coworkers, customers, and the public. BISD’s dress code reflects these realities by promoting attire that is work-ready, safe, respectful, and focused on learning. The goal is not to restrict personal expression but to help students understand and practice appropriate standards for professional and educational settings.
General Guidelines
Students are expected to be dressed and groomed in a manner that:
- Is appropriate for the school environment and ready for the workplace. School is a student’s current “job,” and the dress code is designed to help them practice the kinds of standards they will encounter in the workplace. This includes dressing in a way that is appropriate, clean, and respectful of the environment they are in.
- Does not cause distractions, safety hazards, or disruptions to learning. Clothing and grooming choices should support, not distract from, the primary purpose of school: learning. The dress code helps minimize disruptions and keeps the focus where it belongs—on education. Clothing should allow students to move safely and comfortably in all school activities, from classrooms to labs to outdoor events. Items that create safety hazards or distractions will not be allowed.
- Respects the diverse backgrounds, values, and comfort levels of others. A student’s appearance sends a message about them, and the dress code encourages choices that promote self-respect and consideration for the diverse backgrounds and comfort levels of others in our school communities.
Acceptable Dress
- Tops: Shirts, blouses, t-shirts (with appropriate language and images), polos, and sweatshirts that fully cover the torso. Sleeveless tops must have straps at least two inches wide.
- Bottoms: Pants, jeans, joggers, shorts, skirts, and dresses that provide adequate coverage and remain secure during typical school activities. Shorts, skirts, and dresses should be no shorter than three inches above the knee, both front and back (this includes the slit of a dress or skirt).
- Footwear: Shoes must be worn at all times. Closed-toe shoes may be required in labs, gyms, and shop areas for safety.
Not Permitted
Excessively tight clothing (e.g., spandex, leggings, flare leggings, jeggings, tights, gym clothes, yoga pants, bodysuits, etc.) or clothing that accentuates the buttocks or groin area is not permitted unless paired with a top that provides full coverage of said buttocks or groin area.
Student Identification
Students are expected to wear their school ID at all times, just like many workplaces require employees to display badges for safety, security, and professionalism. IDs must be worn on a lanyard around the neck or clipped to the shirt, with the photo clearly visible at all times. IDs may not be covered, defaced, or altered in any way.
Volunteering Made Easy
BISD is still seeking Volunteers via the Raptor System. This system makes it easier than ever to register, track hours, and stay connected as a BISD volunteer. Whether you’re helping in classrooms, at events, or on field trips, RAPTOR ensures a smooth, secure experience every step of the way. All BISD volunteers, including previously approved volunteers, must complete a new volunteer application for the 2026-27 school year.
One ID. Streamlined Services.
BISD will continue with Card Integrators ID system to simplify how students access services across the District. This ID will be used for buses, meals, library checkout, and more. The new system will roll out during summer Running Start events, with staff on site to assist families. Campuses will handle any lost badges through their standard procedures throughout the year.
Contact your students campus for more information!
Health & Medication Forms
