We have not yet seen any policies. They have nothing online, so we would probably have to visit the office to get a copy.
Her work (Dairy Queen) was the same way. The owner just said it needed to be covered or removed. He was satisfied with just putting a small round bandage over it. It was almost invisible. We will probably just give in unless my wife gives the superintendant an earful (she's quite good at that) but I hate for my daughter to lose her $70 piercing because of this.

I went to a catholic school my entire life and piercings in any other place but the ears was not allowed. In fact, guys couldn't have piercings even in their ears. That was based on a policy that was documented, etc. However, I had three piercings which I took out when I walked in to school and put in when I walked out. When I had initially gotten the 3rd one I was a sophomore and had to keep it in for 6 weeks or so. To get "around" the policy I put a small Band-Aid on it which looked ridiculous but got me around the policy as the policy said "visible" in the wording. Anyway, I would first check the policy at her school and then just have her cover it up if she insists that the hassle is worth it. A funny story about my earrings... I played football since I was about 10 and in high school it was a "dress down day" which meant guys could wear their earrings except we could not wear them under our helmets on the practice field. Our coach was a stickler about it too... to demonstrate why he insisted on no earrings he promptly pulled my helmet off after noticing I had not taken my earring out. The earring ripped my ear a little and he said "now imagine if that happened in a game and you... you might be done for the game, cost us a penalty (delay of game) or even worse, done some serious damage to your ear/head". Had I not been in the wrong I would have been pissed but he had a point... anyway, good luck with your situation. ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~| Message: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=i:5:193615 Archives: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/threads.cfm/5 Subscription: http://www.houseoffusion.com/lists.cfm/link=s:5 Unsubscribe: http://www.houseoffusion.com/cf_lists/unsubscribe.cfm?user=89.70.5 Donations & Support: http://www.houseoffusion.com/tiny.cfm/54
