Uniform Policy

Please ensure that your child is following our Dress Code Policy. Many students change upon arriving at school and/ or arriving out of uniform. Students must wear an ARS jacket once inside the school building. In addition, sneakers only are required. Boots, Crocs, slides, and other shoes are prohibited as they are safety concerns. 

If students receive 3 violations by Thursday, families will receive a ClassTag message notifying parents that students are NOT allowed to wear free dress. This information will also be shared with students. Students will have to be in full school uniform

Gryphon Academy

Gryphon Academy begins on Saturday, April 5th, from 9 to 11:45 AM. Classroom teachers sent out invitation-only support for students last month. For more information or questions about Gryphon Academy, don't hesitate to contact tai.mcmiller@arsnc.org.
