Dress Code
J. B. Atkinson Academy has a dress code that is designed to do the following:
Make certain all students are comfortable, safe, and ready to learn
Teach students the value of dressing appropriately for different occasions
Help students develop a sense of pride in their appearance
Enable students to participate in all activities that they may encounter throughout the day
Reduce distractions in the classroom for the student and his or her classmates
To accomplish this, the following dress code rules apply:
Students are expected to wear comfortable shoes that cover their toes. (No sandals, no flip-flops, no high heals, and no “heelies” are allowed.)
No spaghetti-strap tops or tops that show the student’s stomach area
Pants must be worn at the student’s waist. Students will not be allowed to wear pants that sag.
No hoodies or coats worn in the classroom—students are expected to hang up their coats and hoodies when they enter the classroom.
No advertisements for tobacco, alcohol, firearms, violence, or inappropriate language
No wigs, hats, or head wear that may cause a distraction
