Dress Code Policy 👔
In order for students to be in school and to foster learning, students must be dressed appropriately according to the following guidelines:
Tops
Approved red, gray, or black MAPCS shirts will be the only shirt permitted to be worn by students.
Students can also wear a solid red, gray, or black polo shirt. The shirt must not be altered in any way (for example, cut off, tied above the stomach, tied behind the back, etc.)
Bottoms
Students must wear tan/brown khaki and or black pants, skirts, or dresses (must not be excessively short or tight). The MAPCS definition of excessively short is if the bottom of the garment is shorter than the longest finger when the arm is fully extended down the leg. Bottoms must also not have holes, rips, graffiti, inappropriate language, or images.
Shoes
Athletic shoes, laced shoes and/or boots, loafers, dress shoes, or other closed toes/closed heel shoes are permitted. Mules described as closed toes and open heels are appropriate. Students shall not wear house slippers, flip-flops, or any other type of footwear that could constitute safety hazards. Students are also prohibited from wearing steel-toe boots or shoes to school. Students not wearing a uniform will be given a “loaner” shirt for the day. Students are expected to return the “loaner” shirt at the end of the day.
Students will be given a maximum of three (3) shirts. After receiving three (3) shirts and not being in compliance with the uniform policy a parent will be contacted for a conference. Student Development Managers will also conduct a home visit, a wellness check, and consult with the parent about the violation.
