LCA UNIFORM AND DRESS CODE
The dress code at LCA has been adopted with the goal of a disciplined and learning-centered environment. We have found it best to limit the distractions that often occur when students wear fad-type apparel, and we recognize that students who look better tend to perform better. Our desire is that students present a wholesome, modest, clean-cut appearance rather than being alluring or drawing attention to themselves through their dress. The school dress code is to be adhered to at all school functions. 
 
Grades 1-6 are required to wear the uniform as described in the handbook. A navy jumper and white blouse for girls and navy or red pullover shirt with blue jeans or navy pants for boys. Students in grades 7-12 are required to purchase their school uniform through the school office. Please see handbook for a detailed description. For all functions except regular school days, all students must dress according to the code below (condensed). Please see handbook for a detailed description.
 
No student shall wear garments that are extremely oversized, sloppy, dirty, torn, tattered or slit to expose body.   No clothing that is gang-related, none with off-color or vulgar pictures or words will be permitted. Clothing should be clean, ironed and in good repair at all times.  Shoes should be clean and in good repair and must be worn at all times.
