The do's and don't's of the school dress code

ABC11 is helping students and parents prepare for the start of the new school year by sharing back-to-school stories and advice.

One important thing as students return to the classroom is knowing the school dress code.

Each county has an extensive list of do's and don'ts.

In Wake County, pants shouldn't sag. Ladies should leave the strapless shirts and midriff tops at home, and clothes advertising products that are illegal to minors are off-limits too.
