Linda H, it's pretty much the same here. They don't measure the capris (at least I don't think so) but shorts aren't allowed. Shirts have to be tucked in, belts worn, and no baggy clothes. No tank-tops allowed, nor sandals. T-shirts can only have cute little sayings, name-brand logos, or the school's name or mascot. Nothing with a rebel flag is allowed by white kids, and no FUBU allowed by blacks. (Really silly one there). No bandanas or doo-rags allowed as this is gang related.
I did take Cami shopping last night and got her four new shirts. One said, "Blondes have more fun", the other was "hurry up and kiss me before my boyfriend comes back." Stuff like that is allowed, but nothing they deem inappropriate.

We had a problem at the begining of the year with kids thinking pajamas were appropriate. Both boys and girls were coming to school in pj bottoms, tops, or both. Finally they told this kids if they came to school in pj's they would have to stay in ISS until their parents brought them new clothes to change into. They stopped wearing them.

I gotta ask about the pajamma thing...I see grown people going to the store and stuff in them..is that a style thing now or do I just live amongst silly people who dont get dressed? I ahve seen kids wear them to school out here too.

It is NOT a style I have seen moms drop their kids off at school with there "jammies" on. How long does it take to put on appropriate clothes? And what are we teaching our kids?  |

I think the "joe boxer" stuff is a pj style popular with the kids, but this was flannel PJ tops and bottoms. The parents of these kids just dont care. We did have 1 girl come in wearing a skirt with a nightgown. It was kind of sad, her mom couldnt be bothered to wash enough clothes to make sure the girl had something to wear, but the other girls had no other reason than they thought it would be fun.

I must admit that I was guilty of dropping Steven off at school one time in my nightgown.  I was sick and we both overslept and he was sooo late, but that was the only time. |

Camismom. my daughter's school has the same dress code and the girls have the same issues with low riding pants and short tops. During the winter, many dealt with the problem by wearing a sweater over the shirt, whch is allowed in a limited number of colors. In the spring, they can wear polo shirts, and those are pretty easy to find in lengths long enough to tuck in--it's just a matter of buying them in the ladies or petite department instead of of the junior department, where everything is cut so skimpy. We're back in public school next fall, and I frankly can't wait to be rid of the dress code and all the kids looking like clones. My daughter has good taste and likes to dress to express her individuality, and as a child of the Sixties, I'm fully behind her. It's going to be a big thrill for her just to be able to wear sneakers to school again! I don't think strict dress codes or uniforms serve much of a purpose--the girls still manage to compete with makeup, jewelry, cell phones and handbags, and I feel so sorry for the poor boys, who have to wear neckties or turtlenecks in the winter.

Ladies, this is fashinating, you all paint a picture in my mind, that seem´s so interesting and different than what we have in here There are simply no dress-code´s/school-uniform´s in Finland(obviously they do have to dress properly, but there is no code´s for what the "proper" stand´s for) Kid´s are allowed to wear what ever they want to(some do wear really affull kind of clothing ) In one way I think it´s o´kay, but I can see the purpose of school-uniform´s as equalising student´s. I find it pretty hard to find any idea on dress-code´s as the way you descripe those; clour´s, text´s, lenght´s limited I do agree with the fact that it´s really hard to find nice looking outfit´s for even little girl´s, all they sell are these short t-shirt´s and hipster´s  Way too provocative for 6y old in my opinion, not to mention that those are not so nice to wear eather, expecially when we have temp´s around -24 deg. of Celcius at wintertime´s  |
