PROVIDENCE ACADEMY Uniform Policy

Transcription

1 PROVIDENCE ACADEMY Uniform Policy Do not let your adorning be external the braiding of hair and the putting on of gold jewelry, or the clothing you wear 4 but let your adorning be the hidden person of the heart with the imperishable beauty of a gentle and quiet spirit, which in God's sight is very precious. (1 Peter 3:3-4).

2 Students attending Providence Academy are required to wear uniforms in all grades. The uniform policy allows for personal selection of preferred colors and types of garments within the boundaries set by administration. With the exception of Chapel Day and other special events, students may wear any clothing combination listed in the uniform policy. The main objective of the uniform policy is to give priority to the development of the inner self over the outer self (1 Peter 3:3-4). We acknowledge that students have their own style of dress and the desire to dress in style. While a uniform policy does not include the latest fashion trends, we have attempted to bring a variety of color and style to the selection of uniform pieces in order to provide some variation of choice. Adhering to the Providence Academy uniform policy is considered part of good conduct for each student. It is also important to realize that parents, as the primary educators of their children (Deuteronomy 6; Ephesians 6), play a key role in the area of dress code compliance. Please join us in supporting the school uniform policy by purchasing clothing items that follow the guidelines within the policy. The administration has final say on dress appropriateness. Please take time to read through the policy in its entirety to familiarize yourself with it. Vendor Information Families will have more flexibility when purchasing uniforms this year. Items are now available from three uniform vendors. Each vendor has provided our school with a unique school code, which will allow you to shop for clothing that has been pre- approved for our school. The websites for each vendor are customized to be in compliance with our new school policy. Our approved vendors are: French Toast Lands End For your convenience, the uniform committee has prepared a Comparison Shopping Guide that is included in the uniform policy. You will be able view items available from all three vendors, and compare prices prior to visiting their websites and making your purchase. The variations in the vendors selected make it possible for families to choose uniform pieces that best fit their household needs. Several clothing pieces require a mandatory logo, monogram, or decal.

3 Formal Uniform Students of Providence Academy attend chapel once a week. On this day, students are required to wear a formal uniform. Special event dress days may be scheduled in advance by an administrator or teacher. Formal dress days will be in place for events such as visiting dignitaries, open houses, and formal field trips. Required Chapel/Formal Attire Beginning School Year Revised January 9, 2015 Students wear the formal uniform for weekly chapel, assemblies, and events.

Polo shirts may no longer be worn on chapel/formal days. Dress Down/Spirit Day Dressing out of uniform can be fun and allows students to express their own style. Throughout the school year students will have the opportunit y to participate in dress-down or spirit days. These events may be school-wide or limited to a particular grade depending on the event. We encourage all students to participate in the dress-down/spirit day, and remind everyone that certain dress code guidelines must still be followed. Shorts and skirt lengths apply Sleeveless tops, spaghetti-straps, or tops that reveal skin above the pant or skirt waistline are prohibited Make-up and jewelr y policies are in effect Flip Flops are not appropriate Students are never forced to participate on dress-down day. If your student wishes not to participate they will be expected to wear their school uniform.

4 Outerwear Students are expected to come to school dressed appropriately for the weather. It is the policy of Providence Academy that students may not wear shorts between Thanksgiving Day April 1. During cold weather students may have outdoor recess and PE, and will be outdoors for carpool. Students should come prepared with appropriate coats, hats, and gloves. Students not appropriately dressed will not be allowed to participate in outdoor recess. Students may wear snow boots or warm weather boots to school, but must change into the appropriate dress shoes or sneakers once inside the building. Outerwear coats and boots may not be worn throughout the day, with the exception of the approved fleece jacket. An exception to this rule would be a dress-down day in which spirit wear sweatshirts are allowed. Physical Education Motivating students to participate in physical activities in and out of the classroom is an integral part of the physical education program at Providence Academy. We believe that God has given us our bodies as a gift and we are to steward that gift well. We believe kids have active bodies and active minds, so that learning can be optimized and ultimately glorify God. Only the Upper School students will dress for PE. Below is the approved Providence Academy PE uniform.
