Dress Code ~ Parents, We Need Your Help!
The letter attached was the message that we used last spring to help, as dress code was an issue as the weather warmed up.
Admin found great support in reaching out to parents focusing on personal perspective "as to what they believe to be acceptable dress in school."
As the weather hopefully warms up in the upcoming weeks, it is a great opportunity to discuss the letter and dress code with your student. Please take time this weekend to review our letter and determine what you see as "appropriate for school" and what you can do to help support the "dress that is geared toward what students should wear in the workforce."
We do have clothing that students can access in the AHS Clothing Closet located in E House; students are sent there when necessary. In no way do we want any student to feel humiliated or uncomfortable; students are also welcome to call home for a change of clothes.
Principals/Dean will be calling home when necessary and hope to find support at home. We look forward to teaming up to make school dress code a collaborative effort.
AAACU is offering a $100 reward for students who open an account at the Wildcat Branch. This is a great opportunity to start your financial journey with a little extra cash in your pocket!
Visit the Wildcat Branch during lunch hours to learn more about how you can benefit from this special offer and all the other fantastic services AAACU provides. Don't miss out on this incredible reward!
