3. Dress Code Policy

The following Dress Code Policy needs to be signed by all members of Gather & Grow including vendors, parents, and children. Please read it to your children and make sure they confirm understanding before having them sign it.

As a member of Gather and Grow Cooperative, I agree to the best of my ability to abide by the following dress code while on campus or attending any event or activity:

While we recognize that participating families may hold differing standards on clothing in their own homes, Gather & Grow expects that students will be neat, honorable and appropriate for the occasion, and conducive to full participation in all activities while at cooperative.

All bottoms must fit appropriately (not to baggy or to tight and must remain at the waist). Boys and girls are allowed to wear shorts of any kind as long as they are not too tight or revealing. Please be modest.
Girls wearing shirts or dresses, please keep in mind, they must also be no higher that the knee cap. It is not mandatory, but highly advised, that girls wear short leggings or something similar under skirts/dresses to protect modesty.
No midriff, tube tops, spaghetti straps or off the shoulder shirts allowed. Any sheer or lace tops must not expose undergarments or skin must be accompanied by some type of camisole. Any tops that are revealing at the top or the midriff are not permitted.
No inappropriate picture, logos, names, or innuendos on any clothing.

Overall, please ensure clothing is modest. This is a cooperative of Kindergarten through High School and our younger children and looking up to our older students. As a general rule of thumb, “Raise your hands. Touch your toes. If something shows, go change your cloths.” (1 required) As a family, we have read and agreed.

9. Charter Disclaimer

Hello Gather & Grow Families! Congratulations on homeschooling your children. We are excited to be a part of your homeschool journey.

If you are homeschooling privately, you can disregard this agreement.

If you are homeschooling publicly through a charter, you will need to understand how our program is separate from your charter and that we do not have a relationship with your charter. Charter schools have certain requirements that you will need to talk to them about. Gather & Grow hosts vendors that might also be a vendor with your charter. If this is the case, then you can pay for the class directly through your charter. You will need to talk to your charter about this. If you mention Gather & Grow to your charter, they will not understand you. You will need to mention the course title and name of the teacher who is a vendor with your charter. So long as you understand this, there should not be any confusion or problems.

Please understand that Gather & Grow is not a school nor are we a vendor with any charter schools. We are a membership program providing a one stop location and community for various vendors to offer their services to the homeschool community.
(1 required) Yes I agree.
I am privately homeschooling.
