Some school buildings have dress codes/traditions. Pay attention to what people tell you about this…
Real-life example:
When Dr. Greene was a classroom teacher, everyone wore blue and yellow (school colors) on Mondays to show school spirit.

28. To wear or not to wear?? JEANS: are free of stains, holes, or tears
Probably not.
ONLY IF your CT suggests it is acceptable, make sure jeans:
are free of stains, holes, or tears
are tailored appropriately to fit your body
fit comfortably so you can move around

29. If you’re wearing a dress or skirt, consider:
LENGTH ALERT:
If you’re wearing a dress or skirt, consider:
…what happens when you bend over
…what happens if there’s a gust of wind
…if you’re able to move around comfortably
…how will you sit on the floor?

30. NECKLINE ALERT: Bend over in front of a mirror to check
Layering is encouraged!
If in doubt, wear something else

31. SEE-THROUGHNESS:
No one in a school building wants (or needs) to know the shape or color of your undergarments!
If you’re not sure:
Do a mirror test in bright light
Ask someone you trust before you leave the house
Wear something else

32. If it can be removed, remove it. If it can be hidden, hide it.
