Ware County Middle School Student Dress Code
To foster a positive and focused learning environment, all students are expected to adhere to the school's dress code. Clothing should be clean, neat, and appropriate for school activities.
General Guidelines:
Tops: Shirts, blouses, and dresses must fully cover the midsection (front and back). Crop tops, tied-up shirts exposing the midsection, and see-through tops are not permitted.
Bottoms: Pants, shorts, and skirts must be worn at the natural waistline.
Length: Shorts, skirts, and dresses must be no more than 2 inches above the knee.
Undergarments: Undergarments must not be visible.
Specific Items:
Leggings/Jeggings: Permitted only when worn with a top or dress that also meets the length requirement (no more than 2 inches above the knee). Material cannot be see-through, mesh, or flesh-toned.
Ripped Jeans: Jeans with rips above the knee are allowed only if no skin or undergarments are visible. Leggings may be worn underneath. Large or excessive holes are not permitted.
Joggers: Permitted, but sleepwear styles are not allowed.
Shoes: Backless shoes are allowed. Rubber shower-style shoes are not permitted.
Piercings: Permitted as long as they do not disrupt the learning environment.
Note: School administration reserves the right to use discretion in cases of questionable attire. We appreciate your partnership in helping our students dress for success.

Confidence Is Built One Responsibility at a Time
Children become more confident when they know they're trusted. Let them pack their backpack. Feed the family pet. Help make lunch. Fold towels. Water the plants. Small responsibilities teach big lessons.
Every success quietly tells a child, "I can do hard things."

Ask Questions That Open Doors
When school starts back, "How was your day?" often gets one-word answers.
Instead, try asking:
• What made you smile today?
• Who showed kindness today?
• What challenged you?
• What are you excited about tomorrow?
Sometimes changing the question changes the conversation.

Let Them Read What They Love
Not every child falls in love with novels, and that's okay. Magazines. Graphic novels. Joke books. Sports articles. Cookbooks. Instruction manuals.
If they're reading, they're growing.
The goal isn't raising children who read one specific type of book. The goal is raising children who discover that reading can open the door to anything they're curious about.

Twenty Minutes That Can Change a Day
Children notice when we're distracted far more than we realize. Tonight, try putting everyone's phones away for just 20 minutes. Play a game. Sit on the porch. Take a walk. Toss a football. Talk while folding laundry.
Your child may not remember exactly what you talked about, but they'll remember how it felt to have your full attention.

Celebrate More Than Fireworks
As you celebrate Independence Day, take a few minutes to talk with your child about what freedom means.
Ask questions like:
• What freedoms are you thankful for?
• How can we use our freedom to help others?
• What makes America special to you?
The best conversations don't require perfect answers. They simply remind children that their thoughts matter.

Summer Learning Doesn't Have to Look Like School
If your child groans at the thought of a workbook, don't worry. Learning happens in everyday moments.
Have them read the recipe while you cook. Let them help measure ingredients. Ask them to estimate the grocery total before you check out. Look up the name of a bird you spotted outside. Play a card game together.
Curiosity is a wonderful teacher.
The best summer memories often become the best learning opportunities, too!
