1."out of uniform"
HISD Code of Student Conduct indicates dress code violations are Level II infraction requiring parent conference. For the first offense, a student will be required to change into a uniform item kept by the school. If the school does not have the size or item needed, parent will be contacted to bring uniform to school.
