We at Albert Einstein Academy North Olmsted believe that student dress and overall appearance should foster a positive and productive environment and should reflect pride in one’s self as well as in our school. We further believe that student dress and appearance is a shared responsibility of the home and the school. It is our sincere desire to provide adequate leeway for individuality, but at the same time to maintain a standard of good grooming and personal modesty. Please help support our rules and policies, thereby facilitating our children’s growth as learners, citizens and young adults. We ask that you speak with your student(s) about the policy and guidelines and consider these expectations when shopping for clothing or evaluating their day to day dressing and grooming habits. If you have any additional questions or concerns contact the school. More information can be found in our student/parent handbook.
