2007-08 Dress Code Requirements

The Board of Trustees for the Brazosport Independent School District recently adopted the 2007-2008 Student Code of Conduct. The purpose of this document is to provide information and direction to the students/parents regarding standards of behavior as well as consequences of misconduct. These standards/rules are established to achieve and maintain order/safety in the Brazosport schools.

In preparation for the upcoming school year, dress code plays an important role when selecting clothes for your child. Included below is a section from the district’s Student Code of Conduct which may aid in this process.

All students are expected to dress in a manner that is generally accepted in the community as appropriate for the age of the child and for the activities in which he/she participates
