Dress And Pregnancy

The Academy does not believe that there is necessarily a question of right or wrong involved with some of the different styles of dress and personal appearance. It does believe, however, that when one is connected with an organization such as the Academy, he/she takes upon himself/herself the responsibility of presenting an accurate picture of that organization to all who observe. The Academy desires to be held in high regard by the public, therefore parent(s)/guardian(s) are urged to lend their influence in following the dress code policy.
