The following dress code standards will be observed at Millington Intermediate School (MIS):

1. Pants/Shorts must be worn at the waist and must be an appropriate size.
2. Skirts, dresses, and shorts must be no shorter than 4 inches above the knee.  This code remains even if shorts are worn under skirts/dresses.  
3. Jeans/Pants can have holes, however, if holes are above the knee then there needs to be covering underneath.  A good rule of thumb is not to have holes more than 4 inches above the knee.
