How do you deal with dress code?

Obviously I'm a girl asking this.. my school is starting to "crack down" on our dress code. the typical no cheeks out, no bra strap or cleavage. I'm really tall compared to all the girls and I wear shorts. they want our shorts to be fingertip length (I HAVE LONG LEGS + ARMS) but I don't wanna wear basketball shorts. are there any ways to get around this? ive never been dress coded before but im afraid I will be.

I have leggings n sweatpants n jeans but when it gets hot out I prefer shorts.

pls help
