Dress Code

Although Temple Intermediate does not have a school uniform, all students must comply with the school dress code.

TEMPLE INTERMEDIATE SCHOOL DRESS CODE
 
1.    Hair and physical appearance shall be clean and neatly groomed.
 
2.    Shoes must be worn at all times. For safety purposes, open-toed shoes, steel-toed shoes, skate shoes, slippers, cleats and shoes with heels greater than 3 inches in length are not permitted.
 
3.    Lettering or printing on shirts, sweatshirts, jewelry, hats and personal items must be in good taste and school appropriate. They may not have printing or pictures that are vulgar, crude, sexually suggestive or depicting any of the following: tobacco, drugs, alcoholic beverages, gang-related names/symbols. Site administration reserves the right to declare any item unacceptable.
 
4.    Pant size must be appropriate. If the student removes the belt, pants must not fall more than two inches below the hipbone. The crotch should not drop lower than the fingertips of the extended hand. The length of the pant should not extend past the heel of the shoe.
 
5.    Garments shall be sufficient to conceal undergarments at all times. Night clothing (pajamas) is not permitted.
 
6.    Dresses, skirts and shorts must extend to at least mid-thigh in length.
 
7.    Garments that are cut-off, ragged or torn are not permitted. (Patched garments are acceptable). If pants have cuts or tears by design, undergarments must be worn underneath, as to not expose bare skin.

9.    Hats, hoods and headgear are not permitted inside of buildings.
 
10.    Gang-related apparel (as determined by site guidelines) are not permitted.
 
The Temple Intermediate Safety Committee determined the following items as gang-related apparel (March 1, 2018):
•    Oversized Pendleton-typed shirts or oversized t-shirts
•    Oversized Dickie, khaki work pants or jeans
•    Pants worn sagging below the waist or dragging on the ground
