Legacy Classical Christian Academy: Uniforms
Dress and Appearance Standards
We want our children to become accustomed to dressing for success. When discussing the wearing of uniforms with children, it is helpful to talk about all the various professions which wear uniforms. Children should consider themselves as young people who have the job of being a student. Legacy is a workplace for students, a work setting where the standard for both academic and conduct is high. The school dress code seeks to complement and reflect those high standards while also helping maintain the students’ focus on the task at hand and on issues of personal character.
Legacy Classical Christian Academy has two main types of uniforms: the formal or dress uniform and the everyday uniform. Compliance with the school dress code is required.
Parents are responsible for their child’s compliance with grooming and uniform standards. Teachers or the Administrator will make the final determination on compliance with the standards. A note will be sent home for a child’s initial dress code violation. A further violation of non-compliance with the dress standards will result with the student being kept out of class until the situation is corrected.
