Pants/shorts/skirts must be secured around the natural waistline with a belt if necessary. All clothing items must be properly fastened (belts, etc.). To ensure safety, the following guidelines apply to footwear: o Shoes must have ankle straps or backs. o Crocs are allowed but must be worn correctly with the heel strap secured. o Tennis shoes (sneakers), boots, and Hey Dudes are allowed. Piercings in the ears and nose are allowed as long as they are not creating a distraction. NOT Allowed: No holes of any kind in jeans, pants, shorts, or shirts. No knit pants of any kind (leggings or gym shorts) in grades 3-12.

Students who have violated the dress code will be allowed to call home for someone to bring appropriate clothing to school or for permission to go home to change into appropriate clothing. Any student refusing to change into appropriate clothing may be placed in in-school suspension for the remainder of the day. Repeated violations may result in more severe discipline. Final approval of any questionable dress and enforcement of this code is left to the DISCRETION OF THE SCHOOL ADMINISTRATION. Any student who does not comply with these guidelines must be referred by school employees to the school administration. 2025 – 2026 Wheeler County Schools Dress Code The Wheeler County School System acknowledges that a correlation exists between good grooming, personal attire, and student achievement.
