All Tulsa Public Schools students are required to follow a district-wide student dress code. The Tulsa Public Schools dress code can be found here.
Additionally, each school implements its own uniform policy, specific to its school, that is carefully structured to make sure that students are safe, secure and free of distractions during their learning day.
All students are expected to follow the Mayo uniform code. Should a student arrive at school out of uniform, the following procedure will be followed:
The student will be reminded (in private) of the dress code. The student should never be corrected in front of others or scolded for not following the dress code.
The student will be made aware of what must be corrected for the next day.
In the event uniform infractions become a pattern, a parent conference will be required and additional consequences may be implemented.
