At Lakeview School District, we continue to strive toward educational excellence in an attempt to provide our students with an optimal educational experience to prepare them as they enter the global community.  With this being said, we also recognize as a district that times change over the life of education.  As a result, the district has reviewed and altered dress code procedures with the help of a committee that consists of students, parents, teachers and administrators.  It is our ultimate goal to continue our vision of educational excellence, including the development of well rounded students who are able to present themselves in a manner which inspires individuality, confidence and respect for themselves and others.   Each student is an individual, but represents the district as a whole.  
 

Students will be given an opportunity to change any clothing which does not meet dress code; otherwise, parents/guardians will be notified and violators will be sent home or placed in the Reassignment Center.  If a student refuses to cooperate with a dress code violation they may also receive out of school suspension.  3rd and subsequent violations of dress code will result in progressive discipline, beginning with after school detention.
