RHA Dress Code
These Guidelines Begin the First Day of School
Appropriate clothing reflects Biblical concepts of moderation and neatness. Rock Harbor Academy endeavors to create an environment that will promote learning and discipline. To help achieve these important goals, school uniforms are mandatory.
Uniforms provide accepted standards of modesty thus eliminating conflicting interpretations of a dress code. Uniforms can create a team spirit and foster a spirit of cooperation and participation.
All students are required to wear uniforms beginning on the first day of school. Students who are not in uniform will not be admitted to class. Parents will be notified so that they can take the student home to change or bring the student a uniform. Time missed from class will be made up as a homework assignment. The last Friday of each month will be designated a free dress day as well as other special days such as picture days, and spirit days.
A limited supply of clothing will be kept on campus for students who need to change in case of an accident. If a student borrows a garment, please launder and return it to the school within 5 days.
