At the Catholic schools I taught in, we had misconducts for uniform and minor infractions. Three added up to an after school detention. They could skip that and go straight to detention for bigger infractions of the code, but for small stuff like uniforms, there's no reason to have a kid out of class. Hand him or her a misconduct, and move on.
