Key Aspects of R.H. Murray Dress Policy

Safety and Inclusivity: The primary goal is to create a safe, respectful, and inclusive environment for all students and staff.  

Prohibited Content: Clothing that features symbols, language, or images related to violence, profanity, discrimination, hate, or sexually explicit material/content is not allowed. 

Respectful Dress:  Students are expected to dress in a manner that is appropriate for a school setting.

No Visible Undergarments: Undergarments should not be worn as outerwear, and should not be visible when at school.

Religious/Cultural Considerations: The dress code respects and permits head coverings worn for religious or cultural reasons.

No Threats or Discrimination: Clothing that demeans, threatens, or promotes any type of hate speech against an identifiable group or individual is prohibited.

Principal Discretion:  Principals hold discretion to interpret and enforce school dress codes, making final decisions on student compliance while considering factors like safety, school environment, and human rights.

We ask that parents/guardians review this dress code with your child or children to ensure they understand what is expected.
