Purpose

Students' attire significantly influences the learning environment of any school. The purpose of SVA’s Uniform Policy is to promote school unity and pride, lessen peer pressure, and minimize the distractions and disruptions that some clothing may attract while establishing habits of neatness, good grooming, modesty, and cleanliness.  All students are expected to dress appropriately at all times while on school premises or at any school sponsored activity.  Enrollment in SVA constitutes acceptance of this Policy, agreement to adhere to it, and acknowledgment of discipline for noncompliance.  

Overview

Polo shirts and bottoms/jumpers (except those noted) may be purchased from any vendor who carries a specific Uniform line.

Students may wear non-logoed, plain navy, white, gray, or black sweaters in the classroom.

All bottoms that are not pants (shorts, skirts, skorts, scooters, shorts, and jumpers) must be no more than two (2) inches above the knee.

All tops and solid color jumpers must have the SVA logo embroidered from an approved vendor (see below).

Shorts are allowed all year.

Students may wear SkyView Academy jackets, fleece, and hoodies in the classroom.

All shirts must be tucked in.

Hats are allowed to be worn during recess only and must be removed when in the school building.
