Providence Christian Academy Uniform Policy PCA is a workplace for students and teachers. Students should dress in a way to demonstrate respect for their school. Attire should be neat with all shirts tucked in shoes tied, no holes or tears in clothing. Improperly sized clothing or clingy- type fabrics are not allowed. Judgment of immodest clothing is an administrative decision. Outlandish or distracting clothing or appearance will not be allowed. The PCA uniform policy is integral to the positive learning atmosphere of the school. Continual questioning of the purposes and rules creates an attitude of rebellion, which is counterproductive. We encourage parents to ensure their child s compliance. ** Any logo or plaid uniform item must be purchased through Parker School Uniforms. ** PRE- KINDERGARTEN 8 TH GRADE GIRLS DAILY DRESS Shorts or Pants- Plain (flat front) or pleated in true khaki.
