Once again we will offer payment of fees online, so it is not necessary to attend Eagle Prep, but if you want to pay
with check or cash, this is the opportunity to do so.
Parking spots will be sold and for new students this is an excellent opportunity to see the building, though some may
be restricted due to summer maintenance.
Report Cards Will Be Mailed Home
They will be mailed during the week of July 15th, so be watching for them.

Study Island Summer Usage
All 9th, 10th and 11th grade students will remain enrolled in Study Island through August 2nd.
Dress Code for Dances
Our staff is happy to volunteer personal time to provide activities such as the dances students enjoy so much. However,
in recent years the length of some of the female students’ skirts have continued to climb, making it very difficult to
monitor our ticket lines of students coming into the dance as we deal with dress code. In light of this, we are clarifying
the dress code for the events and need your help in making sure in advance that clothing is appropriate:




Dresses must be no more than 1 inch above the top of the kneecap (measurement will be taken at the
end line of the main fabric of the dress, not at the end of any sheer material enhancing the dress)
Slits must be no more than 1 inch above the top of the kneecap
Dresses must be complete with no cut outs or sheer material that expose the stomach or sides
Dresses must not have plunging necklines or backs that are cut out below the natural waist
Attire for those not wearing dresses, must include:





Collared or Tuxedo Shirt
Tie
Dress Pants
Dress Shoes
Suit or Tuxedo Jacket
Students will not be allowed to wear jeans, tennis shoes, or baseball caps.
Students must be dressed appropriately to be admitted and must remain in dress code for the duration
of the event. Ticket prices will not be refunded if a student is not dressed appropriately and has to be
turned away or removed from the event.
We realize that many of the local retailers provide a large selection of evening and party dresses, but our events are
not “club events” or “private party” events. They are for high school age students. We appreciate in advance your
assistance in ensuring students are dressed appropriately for these events.
