• Dress Code
     
    The school dress code has been developed to help keep students safe and focused on learning. All students are required to wear the Sugar Grove Academy uniform as defined in the following policy. The Dress Code is in effect for all after school activities. Students are expected to follow dress code policy at all times.Several areas are directly addressed; however, any item determined to be a distraction to the educational process will not be allowed.  The administrative team will serve as the final arbitrator to determine what distracts from the educational process. Parents are asked to monitor their child’s attire since violations may result in students being removed from classes.  If a student continues to violate the dress code policy, appropriate administrative action will be taken.
