Uniforms

Updated July 2025

ID Badges

• Students must have their school ID badge with them at all times.
• If you lose your ID, let a staff member know. Replacement IDs cost $5.
• Your ID photo must clearly show your head and neck. No filters or edits.
• Don’t cover your picture. If you don’t like your photo, ask for a new one.
• If a staff member asks to see your ID, you must show it.
• IDs help keep everyone safe. They show us who is a student, staff member, or visitor.

Clear Bag Policy

• All bags must be clear. This includes any smaller bags inside your main bag.
• Lunch bags, makeup bags, or any other type of bag must be see-through and will be checked before you enter school.
• You’ll go through a contraband detector with your bag. Take out all metal and electronic items before walking through.
• Students and visitors must only use clear bags. If your bag doesn’t follow this rule, you won’t be allowed in.
• Oversized bags are not allowed.
• Clear bags are also required at all TPS athletic events. No one can enter without one.

What You Can Wear

Tops

• Wear a shirt with sleeves or straps—no strapless tops or dresses.
• Shirts must not show your midriff (stomach) or be too low-cut.
• No shirts with curse words, drugs, alcohol, weapons, or sexual messages.
• From your armpits to your waistline should be covered.

Bottoms

• Wear pants, shorts, or skirts that cover your underwear.
• No sagging. If you need a belt, ask—we’re happy to help!
• Bottoms must reach at least mid-thigh. This includes rips or holes—no holes above the thigh.
• No pajamas unless it's a pajama day. Joggers or sweatpants should not have large prints or designs unless it’s a small logo.
• If something looks like pajamas, you may be asked to change. If unsure, ask before wearing it.

Accessories

To keep everyone safe, the following are not allowed:

• No bandanas (even as headbands).
• No items that look like weapons or parts of weapons.
• Hats and hoods must not cover your face. Cowboy hats are not allowed.
• Ball caps must face forward. Hoodies must stay down indoors.
• Blankets are not allowed inside school. If you're cold, ask for a hoodie or jacket.
• No house shoes or slippers. Wear school-appropriate shoes like slides, sneakers, Crocs, or dress shoes.
• If your outfit doesn’t follow the dress code, you’ll be asked to change when you arrive.

Bags for Athletes

• Athletes must follow the dress code for their sport, especially on home game days.
• Coaches will provide specific dress guidelines.
