Dress Code

Nicaea Academy: Dress Code (For Students K5 and Up)

The Academy provides a dress code for students K5 and up. The major objective of our dress code is to help students learn to dress in clothes which are modest, neat, clean, moderate in style, and appropriate to the occasion. Please check your children’s attire: obedience to school dress code begins at home. The students are not to wear anything in disrepair, soiled, immodest, or extreme. All students will have to sign the dress code contract before starting the school year.

Nicaea Academy Dress Code Contract

Due to the correlation between appropriate attire and a positive and safe learning environment, we have established the following standards for student dress at Nicaea Academy. Student uniforms are an important part of our school image, so it is important that our students abide in our school uniform policy. I’m in need of your assistance to implement these guidelines:
  • The uniform should be neat and clean.
  • No tears or missing main buttons on the uniform.  
  • Old style Nicaea shirts should be tucked in at all times. If students want to wear a shirt under the Nicaea shirt it must be white and it must be tucked in.
  • A brown belt 
  • Khaki pants or shorts (no cargo pants/shorts are allowed)  Shorts are to no shorter than  finger tip length.  Pants should not have torn hems or rips.  Pants should not be dragging on the ground.
  • White socks (no colored/black or designs on the socks); they also must reach the ankle no unseen sock line.
  • Brown shoes-I’m not in favor of skater shoes. However, since we have several students can’t afford to get different shoes; they must keep the laces tighten.
  • Girls & Boys are to be asked not to wear excess jewelry. No large hooped jewelry are to be worn by girls.  If a boy wears jewelry a long chain (i.e. dog tag)  it must be worn on the inside of the shirt.
  • Boys must not sport facial hair. Sideburns should not be lower then the ear. Hair should not be over the collar of the shirt.
