A Note From the Principal
Dear Audubon Families,
As the Principal of Audubon Elementary School, it is my pleasure to welcome new and returning families to start of the 22-23 school year. As the year begins, we want to take a little time to celebrate the success and academic growth that our amazing students demonstrated during the 21-22 school year. Audubon increased 72 points bringing our school grade to a “B”. We increased our proficiency in reading and math and scored higher than both the district and the state in our proficiency scores. Our students and staff have much to be proud of, and we are determined to continue down this path of academic success.
We appreciate the trust you have placed in us here at Audubon, and we will do our best to ensure that your children have a fulfilling, happy and safe year. Our theme this year is “Build, Connect, Develop” focusing on relationships and making connections. We look forward to our wonderful community where students, teachers and parents care for each other and strive to build meaningful relationships that support academic and social-emotional growth.
All of us at Audubon Elementary are eager and excited to begin what promises to be the best year ever. This year is going to be "GREAT" as we continue to provide academic experiences for our students that are rigorous, relevant and builds relationships. As your principal, it is important to me that everyone who steps through our doors- staff, students, and parents-are excited to be here!
I encourage you to become active members of our PTO, School Advisory Committee, a registered volunteer, and to stay connected with all things Audubon. With your support, and continued collaboration, together we can make this an amazing year.
Mrs. Candace Jones

Dress Code
Please Review Carefully:
5511 - DRESS AND GROOMING
The Board recognizes that each student's mode of dress and grooming is a manifestation of personal style and individual preference. The Board will not interfere with the right of students and their parents/legal guardians to make decisions regarding their appearance, however, the standards of appearance for students shall ensure that the student be clean, neat, and properly dressed. They shall observe modes of dress and standards of personal grooming which are in conformity with the studious atmosphere and good personal hygiene necessary in schools. Furthermore, it is the responsibility of the principal to see that the dress or appearance of no student shall be extreme to the point of creating a disturbance or is hazardous to oneself, others, or school property. The dress code shall be incorporated into the Student Code of Conduct.
A committee of six (6) members of the student body, chosen by the student government; three (3) members of the faculty, chosen by the faculty; and three (3) parents/legal guardians chosen by the principal; with the principal acting as chairman, shall have the responsibility of preparing a dress code for the school which they represent.
As a minimum, the dress code shall include provisions for the appropriateness of clothing, clothing accessories, and footwear, which will maintain adequate standards of safety, health, and welfare for all students. Beachwear and see-through or otherwise revealing apparel is not considered to be appropriate. Students shall not be permitted to wear clothing which contains printed profanity as defined in Policy 5500 - Student Conduct, or any clothing, accessories, or regalia that conveys membership or affiliation with a "gang" or other similarly oriented group or association prone to violence or criminal acts. Gang clothing, accessories, or regalia can include, but is not limited to, gang related colors, rolled up bandanas about the head or other parts of the body, knit caps, rolled up or split pant cuffs, certain sports attire that has a "street meaning", etc.
The following procedures are established to promote discipline, maintain order, secure the safety of students, and provide a healthy environment conducive to academic purposes. These procedures should not be used to replace the specificity that schools currently have in place in their school site dress codes:
- Head
- No hats, curlers, bandanas, or sunglasses (unless prescribed by a physician) are to be worn in the school building or hallways.
- Extreme hair styles or hair colors that create a disruption are prohibited.
- No hats, curlers, bandanas, or sunglasses (unless prescribed by a physician) are to be worn in the school building or hallways.

- Garments must be of a length and fit that are suitable to the build and stature of the student. The cut of sleeveless garments must not expose undergarments or be otherwise immodest.
- Strapless garments are prohibited. Straps of permitted garments must be a minimum of 1 1/2 inches in width. (Tube tops and halter tops are prohibited.)
- Necklines of all upper garments must be modest. Low cut necklines are prohibited.
- Excessively large or baggy clothes, which may conceal dangerous items or be a safety hazard, shall not be worn.
- Upper garments must adequately cover the waistline and must not expose the midriff while the student is performing normal school-related activities (studying, retrieving books, raising hands, etc.).

- Pants shall conform to the build and stature of the student, shall be worn at the waist, and shall not extend below the heel of the shoe in length. Pants shall have no holes or rips. (Tights, spandex, leggings, bike shorts, etc., are not permitted.)
- Footwear
Students in K-6 must wear shoes that are safe and appropriate for recess and physical education. Students in grades 7-12 may wear footwear commonly considered as beachwear (for example: flip flops, thongs, etc.) unless a course of instruction requires them to wear safe and appropriate footwear to protect the student from injury, (i.e. athletic shoes in physical education class).
- Accessories
- Clothing, jewelry, and accessories shall not convey messages that are crude; vulgar/profane; violent/death-oriented; gang related; sexually suggestive; and/or promote alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.

- Clothing, jewelry, and accessories shall not convey messages that are crude; vulgar/profane; violent/death-oriented; gang related; sexually suggestive; and/or promote alcohol, drugs, or tobacco.
The Superintendent shall develop administrative procedures to implement this policy which:
- designate the principal as the arbiter of student dress and grooming in his/her building;
- instruct staff members to demonstrate by example and precept wholesome attitudes toward neatness, cleanliness, propriety, modesty, and good sense in attire and appearance;
- ensure that all rules implementing this policy impose only minimum and necessary restrictions on the exercise of the student's taste and individuality.
Students who violate the dress code will not be admitted to class and may be suspended from school.

Summer Reading Challenge
Please turn in your summer reading log to Ms. Kirkland or your classroom teacher by 8/19 to be included in our ice cream incentive party.
This summer marks the 9th year United Way of Brevard has partnered with Brevard Public Schools to launch an aggressive awareness campaign to help parents understand the devastating effects of summer learning loss. The first priority was to ensure parents, especially those of elementary aged school children, understand why it is so critical to keep kids reading over the summer. The second goal, which was just as important, was to keep kids reading over the summer. Kids at Brevard Public Schools who read the required number of books and turn in results to their school will earn a reading party.
Remember for every 3 books read, students earn ONE piece of duct tape to tape Mrs. Jones to the wall!
