Hello my name is Makala Cowen and I currently attend Alvin High School. I am starting this petition in an effort to change the dress code policy throughout Alvin ISD. The current dress code is located in the picture below. As of now, students are not allowed printed pants, shorts, skirts, or dresses, and shirts must have sleeves. Students are also not permitted to dress in athletic wear such as nike shorts or appropriate sweat pants; nor are we allowed to wear open toed shoes without a back, including flip flops.


The dress code changes being proposed are as followed:

-Any school appropriate pattern may be worn on any particle of clothing including dresses, pants, skirts/skorts, shorts and shirts.


-Any school appropriate shirt may be worn (i.e. v-necks, swoop necks)

-Shirts may be sleeveless, but must cover at least 3 fingers worth of the shoulder


-Dresses, pants, shorts, skirts/skorts must be as long as the tip of the longest finger


-Athletic wear such as Nike shorts, yoga pants/capris and appropriate sweat pants will be permitted


-Any type of shoe may be worn with the exception of house shoes/slippers


Please join me in the effort of changing the Alvin ISD dress code by signing your name. Thank you.

Thank you for opening up this petition because the dress code they passed for this year is basically the same as last year ...I'm just happy to know that there are people who don't like the fact that we can't wear open toes shoes with out a back and collared shirts ...on top of that they focus more on people being out of dress code than anything else I attend manvel there is so many people that are in Eco because of dress code I think it's ridiculous

Way to take some initiative and show that someone cares. Hopefully this will get somewhere.

Uniform isn't education! Let students choose their style. If anything it encourages personality, creativity, originality, and uniqueness. One style does not fit all!

Yesterday I went up to the admin building and complained about V-necks. Everyone should just go to them directly. They think that everyone is going to wear in appropriate graphics on tees and that if a teacher thinks it's in appropriate and sends a student to the APs that the AP might let the kid off and it would cause tension between the staff. They also said that they wanted to keep a "business culture" in schools so it promotes college? Didn't make sense because colleges have free dress. Seriously hoping the 1500+ people changes something or I'm going to be in Eco a lot this year.
