• The JFA dress code is established to ensure the health and safety of everyone on campus and to avoid any disruptions to the learning environment. The dress code includes, but is not limited to, the acceptable daily dress of students enrolled at JFA. The appropriateness of dress code items NOT expressly included or addressed in this document will be determined by the principal or his designee(s) on a case by case basis.
