Dress Code

The mission of Southwest Middle (SOM) is to provide our students a safe space where they can be afforded a world-class education that prepares them for college and career. SOM does not require students to be in a traditional uniform but we do enforce a “Dress for Success” policy. 

SOM must be a safe place for students to learn and work. Our responsibility as a school is to ensure that students are free from harassment and intimidation. 

Students are required to wear clothes that are neat in appearance and appropriate for school (CA Title V, Sec. 3022; SUHSD Policy 5132). Attire should protect the health and safety of the students. 

Our dress code at Southwest Middle School has been established to provide and model guidelines for student attire in a public-school while being sensitive towards our students’ diverse backgrounds. We realize that students are returning to school during a time period where the weather tends to be warmer than usual; however, attire still must follow the motto, “dress for success”.

If a student’s attire is deemed inappropriate for the learning environment, they will be asked to contact their parent/guardian for clothing, or will be provided with an outfit to borrow.
