Guidelines regarding the personal appearances of students are necessary to provide the best possible learning environment. Street Academy’s guidelines are listed below. Students not adhering to the dress code may not be admitted to school.

PROMOTING HEALTH AND SAFETY

Observe personal hygiene: Students are expected to maintain daily health habits-bathing, wearing clean, properly fitting clothing, etc. Avoid expensive accessories: Valuables cannot be replaced if lost at school. Valuables you bring to school are your responsibility. If lost or misplaced, the school is not responsible. Avoid divisive or offensive representation: Clothing should not be worn that might anger or offend other students. These include gang colors and drug/alcohol promotion.

AVOIDING DISTRACTIONS

Avoid revealing clothing. Students are here to develop their minds, not to display their bodies. The following clothing is prohibited. Excessively tight clothing (spandex, etc.) Skirts, dresses, or shorts that end above the knee Low-cut blouses, see through clothing, tank tops Clothing which exposes stomach or chest Excessively baggy or low hung pants House slippers Students that forget how to dress themselves will be given a muumuu to wear for the day and pants that are worn too baggy will have their pants loops locked until the end of the day.

FACILITATE EDUCATIONAL PROCESS

Arrive at school ready to learn. Please do not bring headphones, sunglasses, or cell phones.
