Administrators and teachers of the RCSA shall enforce dress codes that promote the successful operation of the schools. Should a student’s uniform not comply with the uniform dress code, they will be considered in violation. Students who violate the uniform code will be allowed to call home for an appropriate change of clothing. All students must adhere to these minimal guidelines for acceptable apparel and appearance. To maximize instructional time, students will be given an opportunity to immediately correct dress code violations and they will not be able to return to class until in the proper dress code.
