HIGH POINT CHRISTIAN ACADEMY
ELEMENTARY SCHOOL DRESS CODE 2013-2014
Uniforms are required for all students at High Point Christian Academy. We believe that a prescribed wardrobe
policy promotes neatness, is cost effective for parents, helps improve self-image and behavior, ensures modesty,
promotes community, and decreases distractions in the learning environment. Any uniform combination is
acceptable unless the teacher instructs the students to wear a specific combination for a special event.

Elementary General Uniform Information
Bottoms
Students may purchase uniform-style long pants, Bermuda-style shorts, skirts, skorts, culottes, or capris from
any vendor provided they meet the following guidelines:
1. Material must be a chino-type material or twill weave made mostly of cotton (no denim or corduroy). They should
look like the uniform bottoms from Lands’ End and Educational Outfitters.
2. Solid navy blue or khaki colors only, unless Plaid is noted above.
3. No cargo shorts or pants, and no corduroy.
4. Shorts should be no more than 3 inches above the knee; skirts no more than 2 inches.
5. Holes or appearance of holes are not acceptable.
6. Pants and shorts should not be sagging, too tight, or too low-riding.
Tops
Since there is such a wide variety of tops and colors among vendors, tops must be purchased from Lands’ End or
Educational Outfitters only. School Logo is not required.
Jackets, Sweaters, Sweatshirts, Hoodies
Students may wear any jacket, sweater, sweatshirt, or hoodie during the school day providing the jacket does not contain
anything offensive. (Hoods on hoodies are not to be worn over the head.) Students must wear a uniform shirt underneath.
(Sometimes, classrooms become warm or activities are conducted outside and students may want to remove outerwear.)
Teachers reserve the right to ask students to remove their outerwear if it becomes a distraction.
Hair
Hairstyles should reflect the school culture and should be clean and neatly maintained. Boys should have haircuts above
the eyebrows, mid-ear or above, and above a standard shirt collar.
Shoes
Shoes must have rubber soles (for safety) and must buckle, tie, or have Velcro. Open-toed or open-heeled shoes are not
allowed. Tennis shoes, hiking shoes, and boots are acceptable.
Special Performances
Students may be required to wear certain color uniform combinations for special performances. See the sponsoring
teacher for specifics.
