Dress for success
There's a right way and a wrong way to dress for school when classes get underway Aug. 10. The Fayette County Board of Education's dress code policy states that students in middle and high schools "are expected to dress and be groomed in such a way as to reflect neatness, cleanliness and good taste." And just in case that's a difficult concept for some, the board outlines what it considers inappropriate dress in more detail. Here's a list of what's not allowed: 1. Shirts and dresses that don't cover the waist, shoulders and back; 2. Tank tops; 3. Pants, shorts, slacks and skirts of inappropriate size and fit or which have holes (pants can't touch the floor); 4. Skirts, dresses or shorts with hems above the fingertips; 5. Exposed undergarments; 6. Clothing containing inappropriate language such as advertisements of drugs, tobacco or sex, suggesting lettering or pictures advocating or glorifying death or violence; 7. Transparent or mesh clothing without an appropriate shirt underneath; 8. Trench coats; 9. Apparel that is too revealing; 10. Clothing that is excessively form fitting (i.e. spandex); 11. Cutoff jeans; 12. Sunglasses (may not be worn inside buildings); 13. Wallet chains or other type chains that may be dangerous or disruptive; 14. Hats or caps (must be stored in locker and retrieved at dismissal); 15. Headbands or bandannas; 16. Rubber flip-flops; 17. Body piercing that is disruptive or dangerous. Middle school students are allowed ear piercing only and high school students are allowed body piercing that is not disruptive or dangerous. Every student is expected to wear proper undergarments.
