            Any items not allowed in the Bibb County Dress Code or Code of Conduct    

            are not allowed under the Joseph B. Riley Uniform Policy.

Participation is mandatory unless the School Advisory Council has granted an exemption. A meeting of the parent and Advisory Council will be necessary in order for an exemption to be granted.  Please understand that exemptions are not automatic and will only be granted for legitimate reasons.  If you are unable to attend one of the meetings, then the student will be required to participate in the Success for All until the time when the parent is able to meet with the School Advisory Committee.  Currently, no student is exempt from our Unified Dress Code. These items are readily available at Wal-Mart, Kohl’s, Target, The Sock Shoppe, Burlington, Old Navy, GAP, Sears, and JC Penney. If complying with this policy will create a hardship, please contact our counselor.
