Looking Good

What are the policies regarding what my child can or cannot wear to school?

When you tell your child there is no way that he or she is leaving the house dressed like that, you can say that you have school board policy to back you up.

Some rules apply to all schools. That includes: No bare feet. No pants, slacks or jeans that sag below the waist. No hats, caps, bandanas or other garments that cover the student’s face or otherwise conceal the student’s identity. No symbols or clothing associated with gangs, intimidation or violence.

No clothing that contains advertisements for tobacco, alcohol or drugs; pictures or graphics of nudity; words that are profane, lewd, vulgar, or indecent. No halter tops. No bare midriffs. No spaghetti straps or tank tops. No strapless shirts or tube tops. No revealing attire. No very short skirts or shorts. No underpants or bras that show or that are worn as outerwear.

Some schools use standard modes of dress (often called SMOD) or uniforms. Check with your child’s school about specific guidelines.
