Procedure for Non-Compliance
Students are expected to wear the clothing designated under the dress code to school daily. Failure to comply with the dress code standard will result in the following disciplinary action:
(1.) First Offense: Student will not be permitted to return to class until they are compliant with the dress code. They will receive an administrative warning and a telephone call to parents for their first offense.
(2.) Second Offense: Student will not be permitted to return to class until they are compliant with the dress code. They will issue a behavior improvement plan and a telephone call will be made to parents. Time out of class will count as an unexcused absence.
(3.) Third Offense: Student will not be permitted to return to class until they are compliant with the dress code and be charged a $20.00 fee for administration. Time out of class to change will be unexcused. Parent conference will take place on day of third offense.
(4.) Additional Offenses: Students will be removed from the class and suspended for the rest of the school day. Parents must pick up their child within the hour, if said child is not picked up within the hour, there will be a $2.00 per 15 minute late fee charged/added to the family account. Time out of class will count as an unexcused absence. Repeat offenses may lead to expulsion.
Physical Education
Physical Education is a mandatory course for all students ages 5-13. Students will not be required to dress out, however, girls wishing to change into a skirtlotte and P.E. shirt may do so. We have P.E. class 2 days a week; Monday and Wednesday.
The State of Florida requires 1 credit hour of P.E. for ages 14-18. Students taking the P.E. class are required to be fully dressed out and participate in exercises and the planned activity. Clothes will be taken home each day and washed.
Boys
Girls
It is our policy that no student is excused from the required physical education course without a doctor or parent written excuse. Also, the athletic program of this school is a coordinated effort; therefore, students may bring athletic equipment from home with the understanding that all students will have the opportunity to play with said equipment at the owning student's risk.
