Student Dress Code

We require parents to dress their children in school uniforms.  This decision was made by the Shared Decision Making Committee based upon Texas Senate Bill 1.  We feel that having uniform dress will minimize peer pressure, inappropriate dress, and teasing among students.  Students will be expected to wear the following uniform:

  Girls and Boys

  • Black jeans.
  • Black or khaki slacks.
  • Warm-ups and stirrup pants, cargo pants; oversized or baggie pants are not acceptable.
  • Pants must be of the correct size and worn with a belt.

Uniform Red or White Collared Shirts.

  • Shirts may not have any type of decoration or logo.
  • Shirts must be worn tucked inside the pants.

Uniform Red, White, or Black Sweaters or Sweatshirts

  • Sweaters or sweatshirts must be a solid color, and may not have any type of decoration or logo if they are going to be worn at school.

Appropriate shoes and socks

  • No sandals or backless shoes.

Girls

Uniform black or khaki jumper, or the original red and black plaid jumper. Uniform black or khaki skirt or shorts of an appropriate length.

  • Gallegos sweatshirts may be worn at any time as long as a red or white collared shirt is worn underneath.  Gallegos T-shirts may only be worn on Fridays for Spirit Day.
  • Jewelry and accessories should be left at home.  Students may wear inexpensive and durable watches.
  • Black or khaki shorts may be worn by PK and K students ONLY.

 If your child is not wearing the school uniform on a regular basis, the following consequences will be put into effect:

  • Consequence #1 - Parents will be called and asked to bring a uniform to school for the child to wear.  If this cannot be arranged, the student will have to change into something provided by the school.
  • Consequence #2 - Parents will be notified.  Students refusing to cooperate will be given detention on the same day that they not wear their uniform.  Students will change clothes.  Parents will have to make arrangements to pick up their child at 4:00 p.m. following uniform detention.
  • Consequence #3 - Parents will be notified.  Students will change clothes. Parents will conference with the assistant principal. Possible suspension based on refusal to follow school wide mandatory dress code.

Backpacks

  • AS A SAFETY PRECAUTION, STUDENTS ARE ASKED TO CARRY CLEAR VINYL BACKPACKS.
