Dress Code The Uintah School Board of Education has adopted the following code: In the Uintah Distnct we have a definite belief that students behave as they dress Students who come to school neat, well-dressed and sharp are likely to perform that way. We feel a great responsibility to guard against those who would demoralize the education atmosphere We want to protect the integrity of the educational institution. When business representatives are seeking prospective employees, they are influenced by the appearance of the student body In addition, the patrons who pay for the schools have a right to demand quality in all areas. We recognize some people differ in what a dress code should be. Specifically, the code states: 1. Pants: Frayed, holey, mutilated, will not be permitted. All clothing must be clean. (Jeans are acceptable) 2. Other Clothing: Any clothing conspicuous, odd, or immodest will not be permitted Tank tops, sunsuit tops, etc., worn exclusively without other shirt will not be permitted.
