DRESS CODE
Student ID badges should be visible on the front of the student at all times during the school day.
Students are expected to dress in a manner that is not DISRUPTIVE to the school’s learning environment. All decisions related to student dress are determined by the school principal or his/her designee. Hats, headbands, bandannas, sunglasses, or caps are not to be worn in the school building unless approved for a special occasion. Shoes must be worn at all times.
Examples of inappropriate dress are:
• Shirts, blouses, or T-shirts with vulgar, offensive, or suggestive words or pictures, or which advertise alcohol, tobacco, weapons or controlled substances
• Mini-skirts, short shorts, or leggings with short tops
• Midriff tops, tank tops, see-through tops; bedroom slippers
• Chains used to attach items to clothing
• Low-worn/baggy pants or pajama pants
• Clothing or paraphernalia associated with gang affiliation or activity
DUAL ENROLLMENT (DE)
In addition to the possibilities for earning college credit through the Advanced Placement and International Baccalaureate programs, a variety of other opportunities exist for students to receive both high school credit and college credit. Courses available through Dual Enrollment (DE) provide opportunities for Georgia high school students to take college-level courses and earn high school and college credit toward a high school diploma and a college certificate, diploma or degree.
DE courses are available for any eligible high school student in accordance with state and college policies. Students may enroll full-time or part-time in credit-bearing college-level courses approved by the State Board of Education. Courses may be taken before, during or after regular school hours, on the main college campus, on-line, at Ivester Early College (IEC) campus or Lanier College and Career Academy (LCCA). Transportation for DE is provided only to the IEC and LCCA campuses. A student who wishes to drop or withdraw from DE course(s) must gain prior permission from his/her school counselor since the loss of course credit may impact the student’s ability to graduate on time and continue in DE. If approval is given to drop or withdraw from DE course(s), a student must add high school classes as needed to complete a full course load.
Students taking DE courses are allowed to take up to one period off per college course to allow sufficient time for travel to or from the college; however, students must adhere to a full class load each semester. Eligible Students are allowed a maximum of 30 hours of funding through GSFC provided courses are on the GSFC approved list. After the maximum of 30 hours are reached, students are required to self-pay or utilize state funds
