Dress Code
The MDUSD Governing Board believes that appropriate
dress and grooming contribute to a productive learning environment. The
Board expects students to give proper attention to personal cleanliness
and to wear clothes that are suitable for the school activities in which
they participate.
Students have the right to make individual choices
from a wide range of clothing and grooming styles, but they must not
present a health or safety hazard or a distraction which would interfere
with the educational process. Dress and accessories which are
disruptive and contrary to school rules regarding
drugs/alcohol/violence/harassment, and gangs is not permitted.

No tube tops or strapless shirts
Tank tops are okay as long as undergarments are concealed

Signaling Device Policy (Cell Phones, IPhones, etc.)
The Mt. Diablo Unified School District Board of Education
believes that the personal use of electronic signaling devices during the school
day creates a distraction which interferes with the educational process. A
student who violates this policy may be prohibited from possessing a personal
electronic signaling device at school or school related events and subject to
disciplinary action including, but not limited to confiscation of the device,
suspension, or transfer to alternative programs in accordance with Board policy
