Red Bank High School Dress Code

(The information found on this page was last updated on May 28, 2009)

It is the belief of Red Bank High School that student and faculty dress should reflect professionalism, modesty, and pride in our school. A student dress code helps to enhance the atmosphere, attitudes, and appearance of the student body.

In matters of judgment, the opinions of the administration will prevail in order to preserve the integrity of the dress code. RBHS reserves the right to alter the dress code as needs arise in order to maintain an appropriate learning environment. Teachers will enforce the dress code at the doorway of the classroom as the student enters. Students not in compliance will correct the infraction, or will receive a referral and detention. Continued infractions will result in disciplinary action at the discretion of the administration.

Pants/Shorts:

  • Solid white, navy blue, khaki, or black cotton pants or knee shorts.
  • Must be size appropriate; no sagging! Students must wear belts!
  • All shorts must be worn to the knees (guys and girls).
  • Girls may wear capris.
  • Shorts and capris may NOT be worn after fall break or before spring break.
  • Pants and shorts cannot have holes in them, or writing on them.
  • No spandex or nylon!

Shirts:
  • Solid white, blue, gray, or black golf (polo) shirts; short or longed sleeve.
  • No t-shirts are permitted!
  • Must be size appropriate and tucked in. If your shirt is too small to be tucked in, it's too small to wear to school.
  • Undergarments must NOT be visible.
  • Shirts must fully cover one's chest and belly at all times.

Jackets/Hoodies:
  • No jackets or hoodies are permitted!

Bookbags/Backpacks/Man Bags:

Consequences:
  • Students will NOT be allowed in classrooms or hallways with "unfixable" dress code violations. Parents will be called to bring students appropriate clothes in such occasions.
  • The administration reserves the right to assign appropriate consequences for chronic offenders. Such consequences may include work detail, detention, or suspension.
