The Student Dress Code is intended to support equitable educational access for all students.
Santa Fe Public Schools expects that all students will dress in a way that is appropriate for the school day or for any school-sponsored event. 

1. Students Must Wear:
   - A shirt (with fabric in the front, back and on the sides under the arms).
   - Pants, shorts, skirt, dress or equivalent.
   - Footwear that is safe and appropriate for the weather, course assignments, athletic and other conditions.
   
   

2. Certain body parts must be covered for all students at all times. Clothes must be worn in a way such that genitals, buttocks, and chest/breasts are fully covered with fabric that is not able to be seen through.
   
   

3. Headwear:
   - Hoods and/or hats are allowed to be worn on students’ heads on campus, but in school classrooms, may only be worn at the discretion of the classroom teacher.
   - Head coverings worn for cultural and/or religious reasons are permitted.

   
   

4. Sunglasses may be worn outdoors, but may not be worn indoors.

   
   

5. Students cannot wear the following clothing or accessories:

   • With offensive images or language, including profanity, hate speech, pornography, misogyny or misandry that denote, suggest, display, glorify or reference alcohol, drugs or related paraphernalia, weapons, violence or other illegal conduct or activities

   • That will interfere with the operation of the school, disrupt the educational process, invade the rights of others or create a reasonably foreseeable risk of such interference or invasion of rights

   • That reasonably can be construed as being or including content that is racist, sexist, lewd, vulgar or obscene

   • That reasonably can be construed as containing fighting words, speech that incites others to imminent lawless action, defamatory speech or threats to others

   • That could be considered dangerous or could be used as a weapon

   • Conceal the face (except as a religious observance)

• The primary responsibility for students’ attire resides with the student and their parent/guardian(s).
  
  

• School staff shall enforce the dress code consistently and in a manner that does not reinforce or increase marginalization or oppression of any group based on race, sex, gender identity, gender expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, religion, cultural observance, household income, or body type/size.
  
  

• Administrators may make special exceptions for students with a documented health condition or disability. Students shall not miss instructional time for failing to abide by the dress code.

1. Students will be asked to put on their own alternative clothing, if already available at school, to be dressed to code for the remainder of the day.

   
   

2. Students will be provided with temporary school clothing, when available, to be dressed to code for the remainder of the day.
   
   

3. Additionally, students’ parents/guardian(s) may be called during the school day to bring alternative clothing for the student to wear for the remainder of the day.
