Dress Code
All students are expected to adhere to common practices of modesty, cleanliness and neatness; to dress in a respectful manner within the acceptable standards of the community and in such a manner as to contribute to the academic atmosphere, not detract from it.
· Clothing should be comfortable, well-fitting and washable
· Label jackets, coats, hats, lunchboxes and backpacks with your child’s name
· Send a coat, hats, and gloves with your child during cold weather as we will go out for recess even when it’s chilly
· Shorts/Skirts will be permitted at a length no shorter than three and one-quarter inches (longest part of a credit card) above the kneecap
· Students’ hair shall be clean, neat, and well-groomed. Hair styles and color shall not, in the opinion of the administration, cause a health or safety hazard or cause a disruption of the educational process.
· Students are not to wear hats, bandanas or hoodies, of any kind within school buildings unless is a special occasion for that purpose. (Ex. Silly Hat Day)
· Shoes need to be appropriate for active play. Children must wear shoes that fit and will stay on their feet. They must have a strap that goes around the back of the heel. Students must wear athletic shoes for P.E on Wednesdays and Thursdays. For the safety of the students, NO FLIP FLOPS, SHOES WITH WHEELS OR SHOES WITH HIGH HEELS ARE ALLOWED AT CCA.
Please do not allow your child to come to school with items that may cause distraction during instruction or interfere with learning. Any item interfering with instruction and learning will be confiscated by the teacher and returned to the parent at the end of the school day.
Preschool Dress
Uniforms are not required for Pre K 2-Pre K 4. Parents are encouraged to dress their children in comfortable, washable play clothes. The children will be using paint, glue, markers and other materials in creative activity. They should come dressed for outside play, preferably in tennis shoes for running and climbing. For the safety of our little ones as they run and play, please NO open toed shoes, sandals, or crocs.
