Uniforms
2022-2023 Dress Code
DRESS CODE
Our basic standards regarding student dress are based on cleanliness, neatness, modesty, safety and minimizing learning distraction. Uniforms are to be worn at TCEA by all students in first grade and above, except on announced “Dress Up” days. Kindergarten students are not required to wear uniforms, but uniforms are available for purchase for interested Kindergarten parents. Kindergarten students must be in attire that meets school safety and educational guidelines. No open‐toe or open-heel shoes, heels, controversial pictures or sayings, tank tops, spaghetti straps, or shorts/skirts shorter than fingertip length of the wearer will be permitted. Kindergarten students who wear these items will remain in the office until proper attire is provided by the family.
TCEA Logo tops must be purchased by the school-selected vendors. They can be ANY COLOR that is offered by our selected vendors for any grade level. Information for ordering is available on the TCEA website or from the main office during school hours. Non-Logo tops and bottoms can be purchased at any store; however, they must meet the requirements stated below.
