Life is a team sport. Life can be a lot of fun and fulfilling when we all learn to work and play together as a team. Life is filled with challenges. There are times of great achievement. There are times of struggle and sometimes even failure. But we are always in it together with the people around us. There are rules of the road in everything we do in life. A sports team, a great career, volunteering for a cause you believe in, and school.

On this page, you will find some of the rules of the road at Alta Public Schools. These rules are meant to help us all get along and succeed together. Please take some time to learn them and apply them in your daily life at school.

Why do we Wear Uniforms?

A school uniform teaches students to dress smartly and take pride in their appearance… Perhaps most importantly, a uniform means students don’t have to worry about peer pressure when it comes to their clothes. When everyone is dressed the same, worrying about what you look like isn’t so important.

 

Alta Public Schools has a dress code that is reasonably related to the health and safety of students. School dress codes and uniform policy will be implemented in a manner consistent with the rights set forth in the First Amendment of the United States Constitution and Section 2 of Article 1 of the California Constitution. The California legislature has determined that “gang apparel” is hazardous to the health and safety of the school environment, and therefore, the wearing of such apparel will be restricted. Clothing with logos has also been determined to distract from learning.

Student Dress Code

 

All students shall be required to show proper attention to personal cleanliness, health, neatness, safety and suitability of clothing and appearance for school activities. In every case, the dress and grooming of the student shall be clean and shall not:

  • Cause actual distraction from or disturbance in any school activity or actually interfere with the participation of a student in any school activity
  • Create a hazard to the safety of her/himself or others
  • Create a health hazard

Uniforms

 

California Education Code section 35183 allows a governing board to adopt a dress code that authorizes schools to require pupils to wear a school uniform. Prepa Tec Los Angeles has adopted a uniform policy in conjunction with the School Site Council and Parent-­‐Teacher Organization. It has been determined that the school uniform shall be as follows:
