School uniforms
[edit | edit source]North Forney allows students to wear any solid-color polo shirt and khaki or black shorts or pants, as well as a jacket. The jacket must also be a solid color or school spirit.
The TEA specifies that the parents or guardians of students zoned to a school with uniforms may apply for a waiver to opt out of the uniform policy. Parents must provide legitimate reasons, which are usually religious or philosophical in nature.[6]
