Desert Shadows Community,

We hope you were able to spend time rejuvenating over the summer. Whether you spent time going on adventures, taking care of appointments, or resting at home, we are happy that you will be joining us at Desert Shadows Middle School this year! 

Student Dress Code

As you are planning back to school outfits, please note that DSMS follows Governing Board Policy with respect to student dress. Students will be asked to change their clothing if they are not following our guidelines. This dress code will continue for the entire school year. All students need to be dressed appropriately for a successful and safe learning environment. 

Please wear: 

• Clothing that is not see-through and covers a student’s undergarments, chest and torso when standing or sitting. Clothing should have a back and straps and should fit closely under the arms.  
• Clothing that is of adequate length to cover the student’s bottom at all times. 
• Clothing that has appropriate language. Clothing should be free from references to violent images, tobacco/vaping, drugs, alcohol, sexual references, profanity, or language that demeans others. 
• Appropriate footwear for a safe learning environment. When selecting footwear, students should be responsive to the specific safety needs of each school and/or classroom, as determined by the teachers and administration.
• Headwear may be worn on campus but should be removed in the building and classrooms. Students will not be asked to remove headwear that is worn for cultural and/or religious reasons.
