2024-25 CBA Elem/MS Uniform Policy

‌ 2024-25 CBA Elementary/MS Uniform Policy

Per the CBA Parent-Student Handbook, the uniform policy for the 2024 – 2025 school year is as follows:

CBA Elementary and Middle School students (Grades 1-8) wear uniforms for multiple reasons. Uniforms help students focus on one another’s character rather than their peer’s attire. Uniforms also help students pursue unity, take on the identity of leaders, promote modesty, dress for success, and ensure safety. Shirt colors were chosen to symbolize both our world and Jesus, the Light of the world. 

  • Daily uniforms are purchased from Children’s Place.
  • Elementary and Middle School PE T-shirts and Middle School sweatshirts are purchased from the CBA office (officestaff@charlestonbilingualacademy.org).
  • Uniform colors include light blue (Daybreak), navy (Tidal/Nautico), bright yellow (Yellow Pencil) & white. New for 24-25: Light purple (Purple Prose) is available for girls. 
  • Polo shirts and sweaters should not have any logos or writing on them. 

Click here to read the full CBA Elementary & Middle School Uniform Code.

We Need You!

‌ Parent Volunteer Opportunity- Morning Playground Monitors Needed

We are still looking for volunteers to monitor students from 7:50 - 8:15 a.m at the HABC campus. 
Coach Lenny and Coach Myers are also stationed on the playgrounds at this time. Having additional monitors allows teachers to participate in daily devotionals to start their day!
