• Pflugerville ISD Dress Code 

    The District’s dress code is established to foster a positive and proper learning environment. Appropriate grooming, dignity of appearance, and pride all contribute to a successful learning environment. The dress code provides expectations which model good citizenship, teach grooming and hygiene, instill discipline, prevent disruptions, minimize safety hazards, and teach respect for authority.  Everyone has a role to play in helping to create the proper learning environment. The District encourages students, with the supervision of their parents, to maintain high standards of dress, grooming, and personal appearance. Parents are encouraged to ensure that their student is in compliance with the dress code policy established by the District. Campus administrators are charged with enforcing the dress code.

     

    The campus administrators have the final authority concerning the propriety of clothing, hairstyles, and jewelry to be worn on school property, at school activities, or any time a student is representing Pflugerville ISD. Administrators will use their professional judgment in determining whether attire is inappropriate, distracting, or causes or may be reasonably expected to cause a disruption to or interference with normal school operations.
