    School Dress Code Information:


    Every school is different, but there is some general rules that every school in Guilford County follows. These guidelines can be found in the school handbook on the schools homepage. Some schools do have a Standard Mode of Dress (SMOD). The current list of schools that follow SMOD can be found at the Guilford County School website. Each school has different criteria. Generally it is khaki bottom (pants, skirts or shorts) and a collared shirt. Some schools are specific in the color shirts that are allowed. Please check directly with your school to find out their policy.
