BATES ACADEMY DRESS CODE
Example of golden yellowExample of plaid skirt |
Dear Parent(s)/Guardian(s):
We have come to the close of a productive academic school year. Our mission at Bates Academy is to provide educational excellence for every student. To ensure that all students are learning and thriving in a positive, safe environment, The Bates Community has decided to make some changes to the dress code for the 2018-2019 school year. Data has proven that uniforms assist in the climate of a school and the academic growth of students; focus is not on what one is wearing. For years, our students have worn the blue and white uniform, which doesn’t represent Bates school colors. Our students were not standing out and looking as though they were from a school of excellence. This being said, as of this upcoming school year September, 2018 the uniform will be as follows: Girls Plaid yellow/black skirt, black or khaki skirt or pants only; white, golden yellow, or black blouse/shirt with a collar. Black, white, golden yellow knee socks or tights (no designs). Black or white school shoes only. Black or white sweater, or vest. Boys Black or khaki pants only. White, golden yellow, or black uniform shirt with a collar. Black or white socks. Black or white school shoes only. Black or white sweater, or vest. Optional: Plaid Yellow/black tie, black blazer or Gentlemen Club ties The plaid yellow and black uniform skirt and tie is manufactured by School Belles. Our school code for School Belles is S2540. The black uniform pants, skirts, colored shirts can be purchased from any store including FKO Kids, French Toast, Sears, JC Penney, Kids 4 Less, Target, etc. Bates Academy students will be expected to be in uniform The First Day and Everyday of school. |

His mission is to encourage and inspire students to "reach higher, dream bigger and achieve greatness," said Bailey.

Come out to celebrate excellence with Bates Academy and to encourage our returning students. They are the best and the brightest! The festivities includes a DJ, balloons, signs and a very excited community to welcome back Bates Academy alumni, students and parents as they walk down the red carpet.
Bates Academy is committed to maintaining a safe, respectful, and positive learning environment. Our core mission is to foster high levels of instruction and learning with the ultimate goal being; HIGH STUDENT ACADEMIC ACHIEVEMENT AND SUPERIOR CITIZENSHIP. Our entire team is eager and excited to begin what promises to be an incredible year. We will continue our school-wide "Accelerated Reading and Math Programs”.
