Conduct & Discipline
The Monticello School District believes that order and discipline are essential to an effective education. Behavioral expectations are explained in detail in the District Code of Conduct.

- Engage in conduct that is disorderly.

- Engage in conduct that is violent.
- Any student found with a weapon will be subject to a 5 day suspension and a Superintendent Hearing.
- Engage in any conduct that endangers the safety, morals, health or welfare of others.
- Engage in misconduct while on a school bus.
- Engage in any form of academic misconduct.
The dress code is included in the document, but we remind you that inappropriate clothing is not permitted and parents will be called to bring a change of clothing if necessary. A student’s dress, grooming and appearance, including hair style/color, jewelry, make-up and nails, shall:
- Be safe, appropriate and not disrupt or interfere with the educational process.

Dress Code
Students generally conduct themselves in a manner similar to the way in which they dress and groom. Any type of dress or grooming which is disruptive will not be permitted. The school assumes that parents will use good judgement with regard to proper school dress. Halter-tops, midriff blouses or shirts with spaghetti straps are not considered acceptable attire.
Shirts or any clothing with inappropriate slogans, ethnic or social slurs or the advertising of alcohol or cigarettes or substances, which are inappropriate for children, are not permitted. In warmer weather students may wear shorts to school. Baggy pants and the exposure of the underwear or the midsection of the body are not appropriate and will not be permitted. Short shorts are not acceptable. Sneakers must be worn for Physical Education Classes. Flip-flops are not recommended footwear for school.
