Professional Dress Guidelines
The image Crowley ISD projects to the public is reflected in the professionalism of its employees. Appropriate attire and grooming are an important part of this professionalism of its employees. An employee's dress and grooming shall be clean, neat, in a manner appropriate for his or her assignment, and in accordance with any additional standards established by his or her supervisor and approved by the Crowley ISD Superintendent. 

All Staff
• A Crowley ISD photo identification badge is required to be worn and visible at all times.

• The district reserves the right to require masks, face coverings and/or face shields as part of professional dress guidelines.

• Clothing should convey a professional image by being coordinated, modest and appropriate for a business setting.  Any clothes that are too tight, too short or too revealing are not appropriate for the workplace.

• T-shirts such as school spirit shirts or college t-shirts may be worn on days designated as spirit days by the principal.

• Sweatpants, wind pants, warm-ups and cargo style pants and jeggings or leggings worn as pants are not considered appropriate for the workplace.  An exception is made for PE or athletic classes.  Shorts are allowed to be worn in PE or athletic classes as appropriate; coaches are to wear long pants when not in PE or athletic classes and follow the regular professional guidelines for men and women while in the regular classroom.

• Jeans are only acceptable for campus-based staff on days designated by the principal such as spirit or incentive days. Employees should ensure that jeans worn to work fit appropriately, are not torn or overly faded and do not show signs of excessive wear. Low rise jeans that prevent modesty are not acceptable. 

• Scrubs and sensible or athletic shoes may be worn by nurses and employees that work with PPCD, Life Skills, RISE, BIC, FA, BA and the Child Development Center. 

• For uniformed employees, all employees will continue to wear the approved department uniform and follow campus-based personnel dress guidelines.

• Tennis or athletic shoes are acceptable only on spirit days for all personnel at the discretion of the principal and are also acceptable daily by personnel in PE or athletics classes.
