Uniform policies

Beira United Christian Academy Student Dress Code

The purpose of a school uniform is to minimize the social competition and distraction which results from an excessive focus on what a student is wearing. In order to meet the dress code, all uniform shirts, bottoms, and outerwear must be purchased from the School. Only socks, belts, and shoes may be purchased elsewhere, so long as they conform to the uniform policy.   The teachers and administration understand there are similar-looking items available through other providers.  However, as this subtly defeats the purpose and effect of uniformity in dress, please resist the temptation to purchase items other than from the school.  Also, any non-uniform outerwear such as hats, gloves, scarves, etc. must be free of logos and reference to pop culture.

Upon initial failure to comply with the dress code, a written notification to parents will be sent home. If there is a third violation of compliance, parents will be contacted and required to bring appropriate uniform dress to school before the student will be readmitted to class.
