School Colors and Option

Henderson Academy has elected to change the dress code for students for the 2024-2025 school year. 

Please be advised of the consequences of being outside the dress code:

• Any student out of uniform/dress code will be sent to the office to contact a parent/guardian to bring in appropriate clothing. The student will not be allowed to return to class until he/she is in dress code.
• All violations of the dress code are Class I violations and will be logged and tracked by staff.
• Upon the second uniform violation, the student will receive a write-up for not following school rules. Please see the Student Code of Conduct for the consequences of receiving write-ups.
• Should a student continue to violate the dress code policy, more severe consequences will be imposed, as per the Student Code of Conduct.
