Dress Code

In order to promote a learning environment that encourages individuality through works of creativity and self-expression rather than current fashion trends, a strict dress code is to be followed daily. We believe a dress code will set our students apart by allowing them to discover the importance of learning and self-worth in a non-threatening social atmosphere.

Students must wear a combination of the following each and every school day:

  • Collared Academy Polo
  • Academy Tee-Shirt
  • Khaki Pants / Shorts / Skirt
  • Belted Blue Jeans
  • Blue Jean Shorts / Skirt

Please Note: Absolutely no clothing that is cut, frayed, adorned with holes or written messages, and / or oversized will be permitted. Tops must be sized appropriately with midriff fully covered. Shorts and skirts must be within 3 inches of the knee.

Attendance

Each student is granted 10 sick days. Sick days are designated by receipt of a note from guardian or doctor listing student name and day(s) missed.

Each student is also granted the opportunity for excused educational leave. Educational leave is not to exceed 15 days, and students will be held responsible for completing assignments created by the classroom teacher. Assignments may include a daily journal, a photo diary, edt. that related directly to the travel destination.

Parents are to demonstrate respect for classroom teachers / staff by ensuring that students adhere to the school schedule:

Grades K - 9 arrival time is 8:10 am, dismissal time is 2:45 pm.

Behavior

The Academy is to be a school recognized for its positive learning atmosphere where teachers and students alike are treated with utmost respect and care. In order to ensure that every school day is carried out efficiently and that our students receive quality instruction uninhibited by negative behavior, students will receive appropriate disciplinary action for the following:

  • Profanity
  • Fighting
  • Teasing or Name Calling
  • Cheating / Plagiarism
  • Any Disrespect Toward Teachers / Fellow Classmates

Electronics

Students are banned from using any electronic equipment at school for the purpose of entertainment such as music players, game players, etc. unless otherwise instructed by the classroom teacher. Teachers / administrators have the authority to confiscate such equipment if discovered in use during the school day.

School Grounds

Students will be held accountable for respect of school property. All educational materials, furniture, and equipment are to be handled with care in order to maintain a clean and healthy school environment.
