The Gallup-McKinley County Schools Board of Education approved changes to our Student Dress Code Policy. Updates to the district’s dress code follow a community-driven review process, based on feedback gathered through Spring 2026 surveys and input from students, families, and community members. The revisions provide students with greater flexibility in their clothing choices while maintaining expectations that support a safe, respectful, and appropriate learning environment.

GMCS recognizes the importance of creating policies that consider the diverse needs and circumstances of the families it serves. By incorporating community feedback into the review process, the district aims to establish guidelines that are more accessible and responsive to student and family concerns.

Families and community members are encouraged to review the updated student dress code and the accompanying FAQs to learn more about the changes and how they will be implemented. The district appreciates the time and input shared by students, families, and community members throughout this process.
