Dress Code
Below is our approved dress code for the 2024-25 school year. Endeavor Charter Academy does not use uniforms. To enable students to reach high academic standards, the school has put in place a dress code designed to reduce distractions. Implementing a dress code promotes student learning and increased academic instruction time.
Tops
All shirts must be a short- or long-sleeve, solid-colored, polo or dress shirt with collar.
Students may also wear Endeavor-branded apparel. These apparel items must be provided by or purchased from Endeavor Charter Academy.
Students may also wear solid colored sweaters, sweatshirts, and vests.
Shirts and tops must cover the back, shoulders, chest, and midriff. Undergarments must not be visible.
Spaghetti strap shirts, halter tops, tank tops, undershirts, muscle shirts, sheer, or any other clothing items that show bare midriff are not permitted.
Shoes
For safety reasons, students are required to wear shoes appropriate for indoor and outdoor activity.
Shoes that are unsafe (for example flip-flops or shoes with wheels) are not permitted.
Slippers are not permitted without administrative permission.
Athletic shoes with non-marking soles are to be worn for P.E. class.
Headwear & Accessories
Hats and hoods, except for religious or medical purposes, must not be worn inside the school building.
Any jewelry, chain, or other apparel posing a safety risk is not permitted.
