Things are definately a bit different here. The principals are in the middle of main hall (all students must pass in order to get to classes/lockers no matter what door they come in). He's not only there to greet the students but checking dress codes. "Jenna, you're going to need to put a shirt on over that, Tom that shirt needs to be turned inside out if you're going to wear it."

High school kids are sent home to change if wearing inappropriate clothing. Our elementary/Jr high school has a "clothes closet" that serves many purposes. Changes for the younger students in the even of accident. Clothing available for immediate distribution in the event of an emergency (ie house burns down), for those children that forget their gym clothes, and for those students that wear inappropriate clothing. One day of wearing a sweatshirt from the clothes closet is all the glam queens need. After that, they bring their own sweaters to cover themselves.

In my opinion, the teachers should not be involved in this. I think that this responsibility falls to the pricipal and vice principals. I imagine in the larger schools this must be a daunting task. But if your forced to be in the position, I think discussing it in a staff meeting is a good idea, present a united front.
