The Wilson County Board
of Education recognizes and understands that there is a strong
correlation between appropriate attire and a positive learning
environment. To help create not only the best learning environment,
but also the safest, the following expectations for student
dress have been established. Apparel or appearance, which
tends to draw attention to an individual rather than to the
education process and learning environment, must be avoided.
- All clothing
must not have holes, be cut-off, ripped or see-through and must
be size appropriate.
- Ornamentation
such as sequins, glitter, beads, etc. on all clothing is not allowed.
- Pants must
be worn at the waist.
- Sagging/Bagging
is not allowed.
- Belts are
required for clothing designed for belts in grades 6-12.
