Appendix A
School Uniform Policy (2015 -‐2016 School Year) Arma Dei Academy requires that each student wear a school-‐approved uniform to enhance the atmosphere of learning, minimize ambiguities, and foster a spirit of camaraderie among the student body. The student is identified with a group that strives for excellence and the policy is established toward that end. Parents should be sure that from head-‐to-‐toe, each of their children is an excellent representative of Arma Dei Academy. We request that students arrive at school with their uniforms in neat, clean, and good condition. Please consult the clothing charts on the following pages for a complete description of the uniform guidelines. Arma Dei Academy will also maintain a ‘Uniform Closet’ where parents may recycle and/or pick-‐up gently worn uniform items. Sally Butler and Karen Hein will oversee this service for the 2015-‐2016 school year. Please email [email protected] with any questions. There are TWO distinctive types of uniforms – Chapel and Everyday. 1 Chapel Dress Arma Dei Academy students attend a weekly school-‐wide chapel service. On chapel days the students MUST follow the guidelines for the appropriate attire. Item Boys Pants Girls •
