ABFHS December Updates for Families
December 30th, 2024
Message from ABFHS School Director, Dr. Edwards
On behalf of our ABF team, we wish you a restful and enjoyable holiday season. We are nearing the final few weeks of the semester and are looking forward to finishing strong !. We also appreciate all the support you have given Dean Hernandez and myself as we adapt to our new educational homes.
While we have learned quite a bit since we started in August, we are excited about the endless possibilities that ABF has- mainly improving student achievement and creating a sense of connection and belonging for all of our beloved students.
Important Updates
Dress Code Enforcement
Starting on Monday, January 6th, we are strictly enforcing the ABFHS dress code. It is the responsibility of our families to ensure that students are leaving home in uniform. When dress code violations occur, families will be contacted to bring to school items that ensure students are in proper uniform. As a reminder, below is a review of the dress code procedures at ABF. The only exception to this is during school approved spirit days. We also have Aspira shirts available for sale in the main office.
All students are to be in complete uniform -Aspira shirt and black or blue pants or jeans. No ripped or torn pants are allowed.
Only closed toes shoes are allowed- no crocs or slippers
No sweats, joggers, or yoga pants are allowed
All coats and hoodies are to be in your student's lockers and not worn in class
If your students are cold, they can wear an extra layer of clothing underneath their Aspira shirt that is not a hoodie
There are no hats or head coverings allowed in the building
