    Dress Code 22-23

    Personal appearance directly affects students’ pride in the school; therefore, dress should be comfortable and appropriate for the learning environment.  Clothing should not be revealing or distracting to others.  Wiley Magnet Middle School wants to help students prepare for the next steps in their lives and dressing appropriately is part of this education.  

    The Winston Salem/Forsyth County Schools have adopted a system-wide dress code. Students at Wiley are expected to adhere to this code. Parents are asked to familiarize themselves with the dress code as well. Students who come to school and are inappropriately dressed the first time will have to call a parent and have appropriate clothing brought to them. We also have a clothing closet with clean, school-appropriate items that students may use if needed.  Additional violations of the Dress Code will result in administrative action.

    Wiley Wear-  Families are encouraged to support our Wiley Family Organization and shows your school pride by purchasing Wiley Wear. There are t-shirts and hoodies in a variety of styles and colors.  The order form can be found on the school website and printed copies are in the front office/lobby.
