Jordan School District has a district-wide dress code. The most current version of the dress code can be found here, and below.
JSD Student Conduct, Dress & Appearance Guidelines
School administrators are responsible for the implementation and enforcement of student conduct, dress and appearance standards
contained in District Policy AA419 – Student Conduct, Dress, and Appearance and these guidelines. The legal concept of “reasonableness” shall be the guiding principle in the application and discipline of student conduct, dress and appearance. Adherence to the conduct, dress, and appearance standards and these guidelines will be the responsibility of the student and their parent(s)/guardian(s). School administrators will have final judgement on all matters concerning interpretation of student conduct, dress, and appearance.
The following specific guidelines have been established to aid students, parents, staff and administration in the implementation and
enforcement of Policy AA419-Student Conduct, Dress, and Appearance:
Dress and Appearance Standards include (but are not limited to) the following:
