Uniforms

What one wears influences how one thinks and feels. We dress in uniform and look sharp because we want to have sharp minds, and we want to show respect for the school, our work, one another, and ourselves. We also present as a unified, dignified, respectable group when in public.

Students are able to express their unique personalities through a personal choice of hair styles and reasonable jewelry, as long as these are not distracting to the other students. No mullets. No hats.

Girls may wear lip gloss & nail polish, but no other make-up.

If a student arrives at school out of uniform or in violation of the dress code, he or she will be given a uniform to wear for the day and issued with a fine of $5.00 per dress code violation, which will be billed to parents if not paid directly by the student.

SAA DRESS & PERSONAL APPEARANCE POLICY

The beauty and attractiveness of the environment, including our personal appearance, are important. What one wears influences how one thinks and feels. We dress in uniform and look sharp because we want to have sharp minds, and we want to show respect for the school, our work, one another, and ourselves. We also present as a unified, dignified, respectable group to others.

Faculty/Volunteers are expected to dress in a manner that is worthy of emulation and to model how one should dress in a professional work environment. They must be appropriately modest, clean, and neat. They should be able to move comfortably and modestly around the students. Faculty should wear gray coveralls during Practical Arts & martial arts uniforms if participating in the martial arts classes.
