We require all students from kindergarten through 8th grade to dress in the proper standard school uniform. School uniform requirements are as follows:

Uniform for Boys

Solid dark green, solid ash gray, or solid burgundy shirts with lay-down collar. This may include a “polo” shirt or dress shirt with no logo or label showing on the shirt.
Solid navy blue or khaki shorts or slacks. Students may not wear pants with labels showing, blue jeans (denim), blue jeans shorts, sweat pants, or stretchy material.

Uniform for Girls

Solid navy blue or khaki pants, shorts, skorts, skirts, or jumpers. Students may not wear clothing with logos or labels showing, blue jeans (denim), blue jeans shorts, sweat pants, or stretchy material.
You can see further uniform requirements and other dress code rules in our student handbook.

Students may not use cell phones or other electronic devices or toys during the school day. We prohibit electronic devices such as cameras, cell phones, iPads, iPods, mp3s, electronic games, or any other electronic devices when they disrupt the school environment.

When it is medically necessary for a student to take medicine during school hours, parents must do the following:

• Provide a written order from the physician stating the name of the medicine, the dosage, and the time that it is to be administered.
• Provide written permission from the parent to allow the appropriate staff member or the student to administer the medicine.
• Deliver the medicine to the school office in the original prescription container, or, if it is an over-the-counter medication, in the original container with all warnings and directions intact.

Exceptions: Students who have been diagnosed with anaphylaxis may carry and self-administer emergency medications including auto-injectable epinephrine. The student must notify the school office secretary as soon as possible following the use of this medication. For breathing disorders, handheld inhaler devices may be carried for self-administration. In both instances, a parent or guardian must provide annual written documentation to authorize possession and self-administration. The student’s name must be on the prescription label on the medication container or device.

Collier Business Academy for Financial Literacy provides bus services to those who qualify. Students residing within our school attendance area who also live more than one mile from school are eligible to ride the bus to and from school. We consider transportation a privilege and expect students to be respectful and follow bus rules while on the bus.

Students may ride a bike to school, but students must walk their bikes while on school property and secure them in the school’s designated bike rack area. We do not allow scooters, rollerblades, or skateboards on campus.
