YEMS Dress Code

---

In order to maintain a positive, safe, and inclusive learning environment, DOE policy prohibits students from wearing clothing in school, on school buses, or during any DOE- or school-sponsored programs or activities that take place on or off school property, which contains language (including slurs), images, or references:

• which discriminate on the basis of race, color, creed, religion, religious practices, ethnicity, national origin, citizenship/immigration status, gender, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, disability, or weight;
• to profanity, obscenity, nudity, or sexual acts;
• to threats of violence, injury or harm, or gang affiliation.

Students who wear inappropriate clothing, including clothing with profanity or derogatory messages, will be provided alternatives at school and/or asked to call parents/guardians to bring a change of clothes.
