School Dress Code Policy
       |
To help create the best, safest learning environment, expectations for student dress have been established. Guidelines are in place to reduce the likelihood of distraction or disruption to the daily academic focus and operation of the school. The elementary schools develop individual dress codes for their Pre-kindergarten through Fifth grade students.
The dress code policy for Walter J. Baird and Winfree-Bryant Middle Schools, and their respective system-provided school transportation, is as follows:
For all Clothing:
• Undergarments must not be showing at any time
