A higher standard of dress encourages greater respect for individuals, students and others, and results in
a higher standard of behavior. Our dress code guidelines indicate appropriate school dress during normal
school days. SCA reserves the right to interpret these guidelines and/or make changes during the school
year. Students are expected to follow these guidelines. Every student in attendance shall wear the school
uniform.
a higher standard of behavior. Our dress code guidelines indicate appropriate school dress during normal
school days. SCA reserves the right to interpret these guidelines and/or make changes during the school
year. Students are expected to follow these guidelines. Every student in attendance shall wear the school
uniform.
A student in violation of the dress code will receive a dress code violation/detention, may be asked to
leave and return when in compliance, or may choose to call for appropriate attire and wait in the office
until such attire has arrived and student has changed. The student will be marked absent, unexcused. We
all desire the students to be in class, but we cannot have a policy that some follow and others do not.
Parents select to have their children attend SCA with full acknowledgement of the expectations and
policies. Purchasing uniforms from SCA designated and approved vendors are a policy requirement.
Parents may not purchase an article of clothing and have it embroidered with the SCA logo. This is a
copyright infringement.
As part of our ongoing commitment to ensuring a safe and secure environment, we have implemented a
dress code policy designed with your safety in mind and aims to minimize the risk of accidents and
injuries.
1. **Closed-Toe Shoes**: To protect your feet from potential hazards, please wear closed-toe shoes at
all times. This is particularly important in areas where there is a risk of falling objects or exposure to
sharp materials. The construction trades programs require work-boots.
2. **Protective Clothing**: When working with machinery or hazardous materials, please wear the
appropriate protective clothing, such as long sleeves, long pants, and gloves. This reduces the risk of
skin injuries and exposure to harmful substances.
3. School sanctioned uniform shirt: **100% Cotton T-Shirts**: We require that T-shirts be 100% cotton
because cotton is less flammable than synthetic materials. This provides an additional layer of safety,
especially in environments where there is a potential fire hazard.
4. **Dickies Pants**: We require the use of Dickies pants (black or khaki) due to their reinforced knees,
reinforced seams, stain/fade/wrinkle resistant, and thicker, less flammable material. These features offer
enhanced protection against wear and tear as well as potential fire hazards, ensuring your safety while
performing physically demanding tasks.
5. **Hair and Accessories**: Long hair should be tied back, and loose accessories (jewelry) should be
avoided to prevent entanglement in machinery. This is crucial for preventing serious accidents and
ensuring smooth operation.
6. **High-Visibility Attire**: In designated areas, wearing high-visibility clothing is mandatory. This
ensures that you are easily seen by others, particularly in environments with heavy equipment or low
visibility.
By adhering to these guidelines, we can create a safer learning space for everyone. We appreciate your
cooperation and commitment to maintaining a safe environment. If you have any questions or need
further clarification on the dress code policy, please do not hesitate to contact administration or your
instructors.
