Dress Code

Jean Massieu Academy takes pride in the appearance of its students. The campus’s dress code & grooming standards have been established to teach grooming & hygiene, to prevent disruption, & to minimize safety hazards at school or school-related functions. All students will wear clothing that is neat, appropriate, & modest to the gender of the student. The dress code is strictly enforced beginning the first day of school. Any student wearing attire deemed inappropriate for JMA will be asked to change or will be temporarily loaned a shirt for the day.

First offense: Warning
Second offense: Students will not allowed to attend class. Parents will be called to bring appropriate clothes for the student.
Third offense: Parent Conference
