2022-2023 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.

Students are encouraged to ask teachers about the acceptability of prospective items of dress before wearing those items to school. Students with inappropriate clothing will be asked to wear a school shirt, call a parent to bring appropriate clothing, and/or sit with the advisor for the day. Repeated violations of the dress code will be considered an infraction of the Second Rule: Do what teachers and staff ask you to do. All students sign an agreement with the Head of School upon enrolling in the school in which they promise 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.
