• Fundamental Dress Code

    Students at fundamental schools are expected to exercise good judgment and dress in a responsible manner. The Code of Student Conduct outlines the dress code for all Pinellas County Schools.

    All clothing must be worn as designed. Dress and grooming rules will be strictly enforced. Students who violate the dress code will be sent to the office to contact a parent/guardian and request a change of clothing. Each violation will result in a detention. Repeated violations will lead to progressive disciplinary action, which may include a referral to the Intervention and Appeal Committee.

    In addition to the dress code outlined in the Code of Student Conduct, Osceola Fundamental High School enforces the following additional dress code requirements:

    Parental Expectations and Administrative Discretion

    We expect parents to set an example when volunteering or visiting the school by dressing in a manner consistent with the student dress code.

    Any exceptions to the dress code must be approved by school administration. Administration has the final say regarding the appropriateness, neatness, cleanliness, and compliance of student attire
