Rogers Adventist School

Uniform Dress Code

At Rogers Adventist School we want to minimize the impact of our outward appearance so our God- given talents and characters will be our distinguishing features.

Reasons for Policy

1. Our uniforms provide for consistent modesty and appropriateness, free from the current extremes of fashion.

2. Our uniforms encourage a sense of belonging and unity, free from the effects of socio-economic factors.

3. Our uniforms promote an atmosphere of learning, free from distractions of attire.

4. Our uniforms allow our students to be dressed safely, free to learn and play.

Students are expected to wear clothes according to the uniform dress code any time they are attending school. Occasionally special activity days may be declared non-uniform days. Concerts, field trips, and other school-related functions may require uniforms, performance clothes, or other attire as designated by the school sponsor.

It is the parent’s responsibility to make sure the child comes to school appropriately dressed. If children come to school inappropriately dressed, parents will be called and the child will be excluded from class or school functions until his or her attire meets expectations.
