Bonita Springs High School follows the dress code written in the Lee County Code of Conduct.  The purpose of the dress code is to encourage students to focus on the learning process without the distractions of unsuitable dress and grooming, as well as developing good habits that will lead to “dressing for success” in college and career. Students shall maintain a clean, orderly appearance at all times. The responsibility for the personal appearance of the student rests with the parent/guardian and the student. Personal appearance shall not disrupt the educational process. A student who is dressed appropriately is demonstrating a respect for self and others, as well as contributing to a safe and orderly learning environment. The following establishes the minimum acceptable standards for student dress to be interpreted and enforced by the principal or designee. Enforcement will focus on positive guidance without embarrassment to the student and should not disrupt the educational process. Principals have the authority with their staff and community, as permitted by School Board policy, to establish additional standards at individual schools.  

• Apparel shall be adequate in both length and coverage to be considered appropriate for school.
• Pants shall be worn fastened and at the waist with no undergarments showing.
• Pants with holes, tears, etc. may not be worn if, in the principal’s judgment, they may cause a disruption to the school environment.
• Shirts shall be appropriately fastened in accord with the design of the shirt. The length shall extend beyond the waist level.
