2014 - 2015 DCSA - UNIFORM POLICY (Continued)

ON COLD DAYS: On cold days students may wear whatever outwear they choose to school as long as it is removed upon entering the building. Inside the school on colder days, students may wear a long sleeve shirt underneath their uniform shirt. This long sleeve shirt must be of a color similar to their uniform shirt. Multi-colored shirts, camouflage shirts, or shirts that detract from the overall look of the uniform are not allowed.

GENERAL: DCSA follows the other Dress Code Policies as stated in the Duval County Public Schools Code of Student Conduct. Parents and students agree to read, understand, and abide by DCPS Uniform and Dress Policy as found at: http://www.duvalschools.org.

“BLUE JEANS FRIDAY” – As a fund raiser for student activities and on FRIDAYS ONLY for $1.00, students may wear:

- DENIM BLUE JEANS (ONLY the color BLUE, not white, green, black, or any other colored jeans) SKINNY JEANS ARE NOT ALLOWED. The jeans MAY NOT have any rips, tears, holes, frayed edges, printings or designs, and must be properly laundered. SHIRTS MUST STILL BE TUCKED IN.

“DRESS DOWN DAYS” – On rare occasions and with Administrative permission only, students will be allowed to wear clothing other than specified in DCSA’S UNIFORM POLICY. “Dress Down Days” will be individually awarded and determined in advance of the student’s designated “Dress Down Day.” Students who have earned a “Dress Down Day” will be identified by a colored wrist band (or other identifying means), and they must wear the wrist band so it is clearly visible to teachers, staff, and Administration.
