CBA STUDENT DRESS CODE 2010-2011
Please Review Carefully

Each Family is required to be familiar with the guidelines for appropriate attire before the start of classes in September.  Appropriate and neat attire is expected at CBA. Unacceptable attire and grooming reflect a poor image of the student as well as the school. It is important that students take PRIDE in their appearance.   Everyone’s cooperation is anticipated.
