2023-2024 School Schedules

2023-2024 BFA Dress Code

The BFA Dress Code is worn in all programs – Morning, Afternoon, and Longer Day Options. Students must wear clothing that is clean and appropriate and follow the Dress Code below.

Failure to adhere to Dress Code can result in being asked to wear appropriate school-supplied garments for the day, being put in in-house suspension for the day, or calling a parent to pick up the student. Repeated violations can result in out-of-school suspension.

Students are encouraged to ask teachers about the acceptability of prospective items of dress before wearing those items to school.  Repeated violations of the dress code will be considered an infraction of the Second Rule: Do what teachers and staff ask you to do.

Upon enrolling in the school, all students sign an agreement with the Head of School promising to comply with the Four Rules, the Work-Study Requirement and the Dress Code. Non-compliance with this Dress Code Agreement calls into question the privilege of students to remain in the school.

Reminder: no shirt, no shoes, no service!
