Dress Code
The dress code for the 2010-2011 academic year has been sightly changed from the previous year. Please review the most recently updated school handbook to verify the complete dress code, pages 16-21. You may contact the school office for a copy, or download one. For a look at just the dress code policy as outlined in our most recent handbook, please click here.
For our 2’s and 3’s Pre-School classrooms boys: casual pants, not jeans, and a polo shirt, any color or colors. The shirt may not promote any movies, music groups, or have any other endorsement logos or words.
For pre-school girls: dresses, skirts, or jumpers are required to be worn. No pants are to be worn by the girls. Keep in mind that little girls are playful and you will want to have a pair of shorts on underneath the dress for modesty.
For all boys K-4 through the 12th grade: a loose-fitting, solid color polo shirt is required to be worn. Casual pants, no jeans, corduroy, or cargo pants, must worn. A solid color polo shirt is required to be worn at all times. A black or brown belt must be worn.
For all girls K-4 through 12th grade: mid-calf, modest, loose-fitting skirt, jumper or dress can be any color or pattern, excluding jean dresses and skirts. Please keep in mind, the polo shirt must be worn over the dress. A loose-fitting solid color polo shirt is required to be worn at all times.
Please understand that many of the skirts and jumpers sold at local stores such as, Wal-Mart, Kohls, Target, JCPenney and K-Mart are designed to meet the standard of charter schools, but do not meet the standards of Elmwood. It is your responsibility as a parent to supply your child with clothing that meets or exceeds the standard of the Academy dress code. There will be no exceptions to the dress code.Students will be sent home if not wearing school standard dress code clothing.
Here are a few companies that make a skirt that fits our standards. Not all of the skirts sold by these companies will meet our dress code requirements. It is an excellent idea to measure your daughter for the right fit and length.
1. The Children’s Wear Outlet: long skirt
2. French Toast: long skirt and slim style skirt
3. Buckhead Uniforms: Girl’s Skirt Style 2662 Long A-Line, Junior Skirt Style 2662 Long A-Line, Long Skirt Style 1526T, and Long Skirt Style
