While there is some vague reason for high school students to follow a stricter dress code, presumably in preparation for entering the work force, here's where it dawns on me that it's not about "professionalism" or "appropriateness."

“It’s a very pretty dress, she’s worn it to school before,” Rouner tells Yahoo Parenting. “When she came out [of school covered up], I thought she had just been cold, but she said ‘no, spaghetti straps aren’t allowed.’ I thought, that’s shaming, and that’s wrong. It’s saying, ‘how you look is not appropriate,’ and she’s worn that dress to church.”

So you're telling me a 5 year old girl's shoulders are sexually stimulating?
If anyone is getting turned on by that--it isn't solved by making the 5 year old girl put on sleeves. That person has major, major issues far beyond anything that a more "modest" dress could fix.
And then not only did they make her put on a sweater--then they also made her cover up her legs--which were already covered by the dress itself.

“It’s a full-length dress that she has to hold up to keep from getting wet in uncut grass,” he writes. “She even had a small set of shorts underneath because it was gym day. But because the top part of her dress apparently exposed the immoral sinfulness of her bare shoulders she also had to pull on jeans even though her legs remained completely covered as part of her punishment.”

This girl isn't being prepped for adulthood, she isn't about to enter college or the professional environment. She's a five year old who probably spends most of her time scribbling with crayons.
Again, if the young woman from the original article is correct, that wallet chains and things of that nature (which are all predominantly things worn by guys) are regularly ignored despite being against the rules, yet she was singled out for her dress--she has reason to speak up, because it's not about "safety" or "following the rules."
