Eagle Lane A Message from SBA Athletic Director We want to make the inaugural Eagle Lane festivities a big time for all, so I wanted to invite everyone out to Eagle Lane this Friday night! Grab your canopy, chairs, grill, corn hole games, and your koozie and join us for some tailgating fun. Several teams and clubs have already inquired about setting up. Again, please come and get involved. SGA will have a canopy as well as some of our athletic teams. There is plenty of room for your family, group of friends, team or club. Just pull into the football parking lot, drop off your things, and then park! A security officer will be there to assist you. We will have garbage cans set up as wells as cans for the hot coals. We will have music while we get ready to root the Eagles on vs. Kingsbury at 7pm. Eagle Lane will open at 3:00 for set-up until 5:00 and then the tailgating will begin from 5-7pm. We are planning special appearances also from our own school groups. Hope to see you out there Friday. I cant wait to see The Nest at its finest! Caleb Marcum, Athletic Director

Students should be well groomed at all times. Hairstyle and color must not be a distraction. Abnormal styles and colors are not permitted. Wigs, extensions and hairstyles may not be distracting to the learning environment. Uniforms are to be cleaned, pressed and everything worn must be in good repair. There can be no strings, no holes and no writing on the uniforms. Shoes must not be open-‐toed and must have a full back. If shoes are made for laces, then laces are to match the shoe color and must be worn or tied. Regarding color -‐ all shoes must be brown, black or saddle-‐oxford.

For a student’s benefit, all uniforms and personal property should be clearly labeled as the school cannot be responsible for lost articles. A lost and found is located in the administrative office. Unclaimed items are donated to charity at the end of each quarter (announcements are made daily prior to this happening). Shirt and blouse sleeves may be rolled up. Any undershirts must not be visible except at the neckline – and those must be white. Students may not wear printed t-‐shirts underneath their blouses / shirts. The school reserves the right to make decisions about any items or styles not specifically addressed here and to send any student home who does not comply with these regulations. If extenuating circumstances exist that would prevent a student from wearing the uniform, these should be explained in writing by the parent and sent in to the Dean of Students’ office before the first period. Requests for an out-‐of-‐uniform pass must be substantiated with a note from a medical doctor (existing outside the home). If the request is granted, the student should present the out of uniform pass to each teacher. If the request is for an exemption to the shoe policy, the replacement shoe must be a predominantly white or black shoe with no flashing lights, neons, etc.
10. Fridays will be considered “SBA Spirit Wear Days.” In addition to what is normally acceptable, students are allowed to wear official SBA jackets, sweaters and sweatshirts as long as these are worn over the regular uniform. No other schools’ spirit wear is acceptable. 11. New for 2014-‐15 school year (each Friday) is a navy blue polo (from Parker School Uniform) that may be worn in place of the overshirt for females and in place of the shirt/tie for males. Parker has two styles available: a dri-‐fit which is unisex in sizing and a cotton blend which is a smaller/female cut. 12. SBA allows students to wear the official SBA scarf which is available through Parker Uniforms. 13. Students are expected to dress appropriately while attending extra-‐curricular activities, such as dances, games, etc. (e.g. girls sports bras, vile messaging on t-‐shirts, etc -‐-‐ these would NOT be allowed) 14. SOCKS for 2014-‐15 school year: The SBA Lacrosse team was allowed to sell a Nike SBA Spirit sock. Due to popular demand, the approved sock was not available.

For Girls Only one color of Parker Uniform fabric is acceptable but there are now three optional styles (two types of skirts, one jumper.) Skirts should fall no higher than two inches above the knee.

SBA occasionally allows students to wear something other than the normal school uniform. (1) On Fridays, students can wear SBA spirit wear on top of their normal school uniform or the “casual” polo style shirt available at Parker School Uniform (2) Out-‐of-‐uniform days; and (3) Special costume days.
Guidelines for Out-‐of-‐Uniform Days 1. Shoes are required. Other than uniform shoes are allowed but none that are flip-‐flop, shower style or distracting. 2. No clothes that are torn, ripped or frayed. No mesh, no holes. 3. No shorts. Girls skirts must be no higher than four inches above the knee. 4. No muscle shirts, tank tops, backless, strapless, bare midriff or halter style tops. No undergarments can show. No blouses or tops which expose the midriff when the wearer is in any position. 5. No profanity, obscenity or inappropriate printing or advertising. 6. No “costumes.” No hats. Normal jewelry rules apply. 7. No sweatpants, pajama pants, scrubs or similar items are allowed. WHEN IN DOUBT, ERR ON THE SIDE OF CONSERVATIVE DRESS AND BRING A BACK-‐UP IN CASE YOU ARE WRONG. Guidelines for Dances Some dances are designated as semi-‐formal, some are formal and some are casual. Students are expected to dress appropriately for each. Girls are expected to avoid unnecessary indecency. If there is any doubt, please bring ‘back-‐up’ options. Guidelines for Special Costume Days If anything different is allowed – or disallowed – it will be announced in advance.
