Dress Code Guide for Luella Middle School

Students are welcome to express themselves in their dress attire, which is why we do not mandate uniforms. To

ensure a proper and appropriate learning environment at LMS, there are a few items that are NOT allowed at LMS.

1. ‘Leggings/Spandex on a whim’-Leggings are treated like actual legs. A top, dress, shorts or skirt must be 3

inches above the knee to accompany the leggings. Leggings cannot be worn alone.

2. ‘Ripped/Torn Jeans’-Any holes in jeans must have a covering underneath. No skin can be shown.

3. ‘Slides/Flip Flops/Sandals’-Feet must be secure!

4. ‘Hoodies/Hats/Caps/Beanies’- Hoodies can be worn as a sweatshirts, but the ‘hooded’ part cannot! No

head coverings from hoods, hats, caps or beanies can be worn within the building.

5. ‘Shoulder Straps’-Straps on shirts and dresses must cover the entire shoulder.

6. ‘Shorts, Dresses, Skirts’-These items cannot more than 3 inches from top of the knee…a 3x5 index card can

guide you.

7. ‘Headwear’-Bandanas are not allowed. Scarves or any items covering the majority of the head are not

allowed (unless approved by administration for religious reasons) Headbands are allowed.
