We believe that student attire affects the learning environment of the school campus.  College-Ready Academy relies upon the good judgment and taste of both students and families with respect to grooming and appearance.  Cleanliness, neatness, and due regard for the legitimate sensibility of other constitutes the basic goals and norms of the school.  The following uniform requirements apply to all students of College-Ready Academy High School.

1. Uniform items, including pants, must be no smaller/larger than one size of the students regular clothing size.
2. Sweaters, sweatshirts, and jackets must be solid color without logos.
3. Head/hair accessories such as hats, bandanas, and beanies are not to be worn.
4. No attire may be worn that may be a distraction.  Distraction attire includes but is not limited to accessories such as extra clothing pieces, and excessive and/or large pieces of jewelry.
5. Shirts must be tucked in at all times.
