The new dress code has a few changes from past years, but they’re significant and visible ones; kids can now dye their hair, as long as it’s not distracting, and won’t be separated by boys and girls.

According to the Frisco ISD district dress code, some of these changes also include allowing single nose studs or pairs of earrings, pants with holes in the legs or frayed or ragged edges as long as they aren’t noticeable or are below fingertip length, and combining the two gender categories of the dress code into one.

Most opinions from teachers and staff, so far, have been neutral.

“I don’t really have an opinion on it,” said Assistant Principal Diana McClard, when she was questioned about her thoughts on the changes to the dress code. “I just follow what the campus decides to do.”

Opinions from students, on the other hand, have been mostly positive or neutral. Some “couldn’t care less,” while others are excited about the changes.

“Finally, I can dye my hair without getting sent to the office for violating the dress code,” senior, Robin Hagle said.

According to the Heritage dress code, procedures and rules for dress code violators, such as being expected to change to appropriate clothing, will stay the same though if students come to school wearing inappropriate clothing, like sagging pants, see-through shirts or spaghetti straps, leggings and tights without a skirt or shorts that extend below fingertip length, or any revealing clothing or low cut shirts.

“The ones who violate the dress code like to push the limits,” McClard said when asked about if she thought whether the amount of dress code violations would decrease with the new dress code. “No matter what changes are made, there will always be people who will push the limits. Generally though, there have been less violations as the years go on and students continue to learn the rules.”
