"Relationships for Success"

At RPA we are strict about our dress code. We cannot allow deviations from this code because such exceptions undermine the respect that students have for adhering to school expectations

 

 Every student must wear the following:

• Navy blue, white, or khaki-colored short or long-sleeved polo-style (collared) shirt with or without the official RPA logo.

• Navy blue, white, or khaki-colored dress pants, jumper, dress, skirt, or shorts.

• Shoes (any color) must be safe and easy to move in. Sandals must have a back on them. No flip-flops.

 

Additional clothing requirements

• All clothing must be solid colored with no other patterns.

• Skirts and shorts must be longer than the bottom of the student’s fingertips.

• Students may not wear clothing with logos larger than a dollar bill unless it is the official RPA logo.

• Jeans, sweatpants, sweatshirts, or leggings are not accepted as school uniforms.

• Students may wear leggings under dresses or skirts. Leggings must be solid colored navy blue, white, brown, or black.

• Students may wear a solid-colored navy blue, white, brown, or black long-sleeved t-shirt (not a sweatshirt or jacket) under the uniform shirt.

• As temperatures can fluctuate in the classrooms slightly, solid-colored navy blue, khaki, or white cardigans, sweaters, and sweatshirts are allowed to be worn in the classrooms. These sweaters must not have any logos larger than a dollar bill, except the RPA logo. No large winter jackets may be on in the classroom or in the hallways. Students may wear any jacket outside.

• Once students enter the school building, wearing hats, head wraps, bandanas, or kerchiefs is not permitted unless it is in accordance with religious observation.

​

Again, We cannot allow deviations from this code because such exceptions undermine the respect that students have for adhering to school expectations.  Families who have concerns or questions should contact the school immediately.

 

This list is not designed to be comprehensive but is designed to provide guidance on these items that could show up during the school year. Please check in the office or with any member of the Leadership Team if you have questions about a particular article of clothing

Uniform Closet: For families experiencing financial difficulty, the school maintains a "uniform closet" where they can get light-used items at no cost.
