Maverick Dress Code based on AMAISD Dress Code:
 
Student dress and grooming is primarily the responsibility of students and their parents; however, the school’s responsibility is to maintain a proper atmosphere for learning at school. Personal appearance is an important factor in developing and maintaining such an atmosphere.  Style is very important, but some types of dress and grooming are more appropriate for specific types of activities and/or locations than others. Experience has shown that extremes in dress and grooming lead to disruption of the learning process. The principal of each school has the authority to make final decisions on questions of dress and grooming. Any student not adhering to the guidelines presented herewith will be subject to appropriate desciplinary action.
 
 
GUIDELINES:

        1. Hair is to be neat, clean, well groomed, and styled so that vision is not obstructed. Beards and mustaches shall be kept clean and neatly trimmed.
