DRESS CODE
DRESS CODE![]()
DRESS CODE
Monte Vista High School’s student dress code supports equitable educational access and is written in a manner that does not reinforce stereotypes. To ensure effective and equitable implementation of this dress code, school staff shall enforce the dress code consistently and in a manner that does not 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.
Our Values
- All students should be able to dress comfortably for school and engage in the educational environment without fear of or actual unnecessary discipline or body shaming.
- Student dress code enforcement should not result in unnecessary barriers to school attendance.
Our Student Dress Code is designed to accomplish several goals
- Maintain a safe learning environment in classes where protective or supportive clothing is needed, such as chemistry/biology (eye or body protection), dance (bare feet, tights/leotards), or P.E. (athletic attire/shoes).
- Allow students to wear clothing of their choice that is comfortable.
- Allow students to wear clothing that expresses their self-identified gender.
- Allow students to wear religious attire without fear of discipline or discrimination.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories with offensive images or language, including profanity, hate speech, and pornography.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories that denote, suggest, display or reference alcohol, drugs or related paraphernalia or other illegal conduct or activities.
- Prevent students from wearing clothing or accessories that reasonably can be construed as being or including content that is racist, lewd, vulgar or obscene, or that reasonably can be construed as containing fighting words, speech that incites others to imminent lawless action, defamatory speech, or threats to others.
These dress code guidelines shall apply to regular school days as well as any school-related events and activities, such as dances and graduation.
Dress Code Enforcement
Students in violation of the dress code will be provided three options to be dressed to code during the school day:
- 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.
- Students will be provided with temporary school clothing to be dressed to code for the remainder of the day.
- If necessary, students’ parents may be called during the school day to bring alternative clothing for the student to wear for the remainder of the day.
Dress code enforcement shall not be affected by a student’s racial identity, sex assigned at birth, gender identity or expression, sexual orientation, ethnicity, cultural or religious identity, household income, body size/type, or body maturity.
Students who feel they have been subject to discriminatory enforcement of the dress code
should contact an administrator or the Wellness Counselor.
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW IF THERE IS A DISASTER DURING SCHOOL HOURS
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW IF THERE IS A DISASTER DURING SCHOOL HOURS ![]()
IMPORTANT THINGS TO KNOW IF THERE IS A DISASTER DURING SCHOOL HOURS
In the event of an emergency PLEASE DO NOT CALL THE SCHOOL OR DISTRICT OFFICE. An instant alert system (School Messenger) will communicate the most timely information and updates to parents/caregivers, students, and staff.
Each emergency presents a unique set of variables which will be evaluated prior to a decision to use School Messenger. Those variables include the nature of emergency, time of emergency, estimated duration of emergency, direction given by law enforcement and emergency services agencies, and impact on immediate safety of students and staff. The District's highest priority is to first evaluate and respond to the emergency and ensure the immediate safety of students; and then to notify parents/caregivers.
School Messenger's accuracy is dependent on making sure all information is up-to-date in the school district's Infinite Campus records. Any adjustments in your contact information can be made by contacting your student’s school. It is important to keep your contact information up-to-date at all times, even changes in email addresses.
If you are experiencing trouble receiving email messages from your school or the District, please email communications@srvusd.net so we can help identify the problem and ensure that you receive all messages.
IF YOU RECEIVE AN EMERGENCY NOTIFICATION FROM THE SCHOOL OR DISTRICT
The Caller ID will show a call from the San Ramon Valley Unified School District. It will be from an unmonitored phone number: (925) 552-5001 ext. 20001. That phone number does not accept return calls or allow you to leave messages. Don't hang up. Listen to the entire message. If you pick up the voicemail at a later date, listen to the entire message. Do not call the school or the District office. If it is an emergency notification, the message will include instructions.
STUDENT EMERGENCY INFORMATION
STUDENT EMERGENCY INFORMATION![]()
STUDENT EMERGENCY INFORMATION
It is the responsibility of parents/caregivers to keep accurate, updated emergency information on file for your student. Parents/Caregivers maintain that data through the Annual Update process in Infinite Campus at the beginning of each school year. Only persons listed as an emergency contact in the student’s records may authorize a student to leave campus or excuse an absence. In addition, in the event of an emergency, students will only be released to those people listed. Please contact the Registrar immediately if there is a change of address, phone number (home or work), email, and/or emergency contact name(s). Monte Vista’s Registrar can be reached at (925) 552-2816.
