6th- 12th Grade Dress Code
Standardized Dress/Uniforms - 6th through 12th grade students will wear only the approved uniform items on a regular school day. Uniforms must meet the professional dress length and size standards. In addition, ankle length black, grey, maroon, or white leggings only may be worn under uniform skirts. Occasionally special jean days are allowed and encouraged as a way of raising money for missions or other special student projects. On these days a dress code must be followed. Jeans must not have holes, not be inappropriately tight nor sag below the waistline revealing undergarments. Assigned t-shirts, or other tops must be worn. Violations of standardized dress on any day will be treated as a discipline matter.
​
Sweatshirts/Hoodies/Coats- SCA jackets, hoodies, and pullovers will be allowed in the classroom and considered part of the standardized dress code. This includes extracurricular or curricular apparel that meets the following guidelines. These must be Sunrise Christian Academy vended items or items ordered through a school-sponsored activity which must include the name of the school, SCA, or the official school logo or crest and be the approved school colors of maroon, black, white, and/or gray/silver. Items that are made of any other colors are not considered part of the standardized dress code and cannot be worn on campus, even if they were purchased as Sunrise extracurricular or curricular apparel. Hoods must be removed from the head of the individual wearing the jacket when they enter the building. The administration reserves the right to refuse the wearing of any student’s apparel item they deem inappropriate or contrary to the intent of this policy. A uniform shirt must be worn underneath the approved Sunrise sweatshirts at all times. An approved winter coat will be sold in the SCA uniform store. If you do not choose to purchase a coat from the school store, we require that all coats be black or gray to bring a more professional look to our uniform attire. Unless the coat is bought in the uniform store, it must be removed in the classroom.
​
Professional Dress/Appearance- Occasionally students will be requested to dress professionally for events or activities. All students are expected to follow the following dress guidelines.
Boys may wear regular dress pants (no denim) and a dress shirt with collar and tie. Pants must not be baggy or have oversized legs or holes. Shirts are to be worn tucked in.
Girls may wear a modest dress or skirt or dress pants with a blouse. 1) Skirts and dresses must be knee-length. Any slits in skirts must not be higher than knee length. Dress pants must not be form fitting. 2) Blouses must be long enough to tuck in even if they are not worn tucked in. Modest dress tops with no collar are allowed. Tops must not show any cleavage or undergarments. 3) No sleeveless tops or dresses. 4) No writing/visuals on shirts, sweatshirts or sweaters.
