Dress Code (And Dress Up!)
The school year has gotten off to an awesome start! The first couple of weeks have gone very smoothly, and students are now “in a groove” with their classes.
Dress Up!
Firstly, just a reminder to all that Thursday's are "College Day," when students wear something representing a college of their choice. Friday's are "Voyager Pride Day," when students wear something to represent Voyager Academy as they show their Voyager pride.
Dress Code
Please remember to observe the dress code at VAHS. This has been observed closely by most students overall. However, please remember in particular, that neither bare mid-riff (navel exposing) shirts, nor sagging pants are allowed. Please take a moment to read the VAHS Dress Code section in the VA Parent/Student Handbook.
