Spartanburg School District Five believe that students who have
positive self-concepts tend to be better students and, consequently,
better citizens when their formal education has been completed.
Positive self-concepts are enhanced when students wear appropriate
clothing to school.
Any style of clothing tending toward immodesty
by exposure or excessive emphasis of any body features will not be
considered appropriate dress for school.
The length of clothing
(skirts, shorts, etc.) must be appropriate for the school setting. (As a
rule of thumb, clothing should extend beyond the fingertips when the
shoulders are relaxed.) Students are encouraged to take pride in their
appearance with proper grooming and dress.
Hats, headwear, or sunglasses are not allowed to be worn in any
buildings at Byrnes High School.
The following items are specifically prohibited in District Five Schools:
1.
Bandanas
2.
Sheer or see-through blouses or shirts, midriffs, tank tops, or
muscle shirts without a garment that covers the body. As a
rule of thumb, shoulder straps should be at least 3 finger
widths.
3.
Any skin-tight clothing (yoga pants, jeggings, leggings, etc.)
without an accompanying over garment that extends to
fingertips.
4.
Garments with slogans, patches, buttons, flags, emblems, or
symbols that degrade human dignity (Slogans and patches
must be an integral part of the clothing).
5.
Garments that display illegal drugs, alcoholic beverages, or
tobacco.
6.
Any conditions that violate the state health and safety
regulations (e.g. shoes and shirts must be worn at all times in
public buildings; however, the soles of footwear must not be
made of material that has a possibility of causing damage to
school property, such as metal heel plates, taps, cleats, etc.).
7.
Any symbol or sign (including the wearing of bandanas) that
can be interpreted as gang related is strictly prohibited.
8.
Sagging is strictly prohibited. Under garments may not be
exposed by any student.
9.
No holes above the fingertips that expose skin or
undergarments.
10.
No chains or spike jewelry is permitted. Such jewelry will
be confiscated.
11.
No sleepwear, blankets or covering, pillows, bedroom shoes,
etc. will be allowed.
