There is not a problem with individual students wearing crosses because that is an expression of the individual's religion. There IS a problem with the school itself (assuming it is a public school) putting up cross symbols because that would be the government taking sides in religion which is not allowed.

You say your school bans "Satanic Inferences" on individual's clothing. If that is the case, and they are allowing other religious symbols like crosses, there is indeed a violation. They cannot take sides. They can ban all religious symbols or allow all of them but they cannot pick and choose. Point this out to school leadership and if they don't back down, contact American's United for Separation of Church and State, American Civil Liberty Union, People for the American Way or Freedom From Religion Foundation.
Only two things are infinite, the universe and human stupidity, and I'm not sure about the former.
