Trouble in the land of the B.E.A.S.T. or.. What's your school policy on dress?

[Michelle Celio]

My school is completely uniforms, unless we earn "jean days" which are stricter than the county dress code. I've been in with the uniforms since 9th grade and I'm in 12th now, and I really don't see a problem with schools and strict dress code. You're not going there to impress your friends, you're there to learn (if only I realized that 3 years ago). I've seen some of the kids that go to the high schools in the district that don't have uniforms and I really don't understand how they can bring themselves to wear some of the things they do.

Our uniform consist of:

• Polos - Available in 4 colors, the school's colors of red black white and yellow
• Dockers or Dickies style pants, must fit the students body and not be utterly over sized or to tight
• Appropriate foot wear - we're allowed sandals but they must have a back strap, *(I've been pushing this rule with my converse since they aren't so posted to be written on and well mine ..are)*
• Professional Dress is also accepted, under the lines of a conserved business

We also have to have our hair in "natural colors" and appropriate styles.
We're limited to FOUR Piercings, ONLY in the lower earlobes and a max of two in each ear.
Shirts must be tucked in (not folded over) with an appreciate belt and belt buckle
Pants must be worn at the hips or above, not below. (Allot of people get yelled at for this one, my self included)
We're allowed to wear skirts but they must be finger tip length and all that fun stuff.
We're not allowed capris, but shorts follow the skirt rule.
We have to have our shoes tied
Those shoes with that random strap that hangs off of them, we're not allowed those unless it's actually fastened

I think that's it I'm not sure. It's really funny, during regionals we were allowed to ride the bus to school like normal, but we're allowed to wear the team uniform (team t-shirt and jeans) we had so many stares as like "What the heck are they thinking".
