UNIFORM POLICY

The RCSA uniform policy requires students to adhere to specific dress and grooming standards to maintain a safe, neat, and respectful educational environment. All students must wear the complete uniform upon arrival at school, during school hours, and when riding the bus. Non-compliance may result in administrative intervention, including calling home for a change of clothing or disciplinary action.

Uniform Guidelines:

Tops: Students must wear RCSA-branded polo shirts. Only RCSA jackets, sweaters, and sweatshirts are permitted indoors. Solid black, white, or gray long-sleeve shirts may be worn under the uniform polo.
Bottoms:
- K-8th Grade: Navy or khaki pants, skirts (K-8 girls), or knee-length shorts are required. No denim, cargo, leggings, or sweatpants are allowed.
- High School: Blue jeans (without holes), khaki, or navy pants/shorts are acceptable. Shorts must not be more than 4 inches above the knee.
Shoes: Closed-toe shoes, such as athletic or dress shoes, are required. Slippers, Crocs, open-toed shoes, or heels over 1 inch are prohibited.
Accessories: Belts must be worn appropriately. Jewelry and hairstyles should not attract undue attention or pose safety risks. Tattoos must remain covered.

Special Day:

Fridays: Spirit shirts (grade colors) may be worn with uniform bottoms.

Miscellaneous Guidelines:

Clothing should be clean, well-fitted, and intact (no rips, tears, or frayed edges).
Athletic wear is limited to P.E. classes, and no sleeveless tops are permitted.
Extreme hairstyles, body paint, and inappropriate clothing, such as revealing or overly tight garments, are prohibited.

Religious and Special Exemptions:
Exemptions for religious attire must be pre-approved by administration. Special exceptions may be granted for school events or activities.

Disciplinary Actions:
Students out of compliance will be given an opportunity to correct violations. Persistent non-compliance may lead to isolation, conduct points, or dismissal for the day.

This policy applies during school hours and at all school-sponsored events unless explicitly stated otherwise by administration.
