Please remember that students are expected to wear the TMSA uniform at all times and to dress and groom themselves in such a way as to reflect neatness, cleanliness, and safety. All students should dress appropriately so as not to disrupt or interfere with the educational program or the orderly operation of the school. The principal or other authorized school official shall determine whether any particular use of the school uniform is in violation of the spirit and/or the intent of this school uniform policy. Students and parents are expected to honor the uniform code in order that valuable school time is not spent examining student attire to determine appropriateness. Students are not permitted to change out of their uniforms during or after school unless participating in an after school activity that requires non-uniform clothing.
Guidelines for clarification are as follows:
1. Uniforms must be worn properly at all times while at TMSA:
a) Students must be in complete uniform when they arrive at TMSA. All shirts must be tucked in. Belts must be worn (Kindergarten students are not required to wear a belt)Uniforms are expected to remain intact and appropriately worn throughout the entire day at school. Students arriving as school with ripped/ron clothing will be required to report to the front office to call home and request a change of clothing.
b) Students must remain in full uniform until after they leave TMSA. Shirts must remain tucked in - even after school, until they leave the school campus.
c) Students can only change out of their uniform if they participate in an athletic, dance, and/or other club that requires flexible clothing or athletic gear. If the student changes clothes when not appropriate, disciplinary action will be taken.
2. Shoes:
a) Shoes must be closed toed dress shoes, mostly black or mostly brown in color, or athletic shoes in mostly black or mostly white including any logos, trim, and shoe strings. Birkenstock-style clogs (no Crocs) in a brown or black color are also acceptable. No special designs or patterns (checkered, plaid, camouflage, etc.) or wild colors are permitted. Shoes must be worn at all times.
b) The emphasis regarding shoes is safety - for that reason, all shoelaces must be tied properly, all buckles fastened, all straps must be secured or velcroed - nothing may dangle or drag from the shoe. Slippers or thin soled shoes, flip-flops, or open-toed shoes are not permitted.
c) Boots, Uggs, and high-heeled shoes are not permitted - Heels on shoes may not be higher than one (1) 1/4 inch. Roller shoes, "wheelies" or shoes with wheels are not permitted. Light-up shoes are not permitted. Boots are permitted however; they must follow the following shoe guidelines: mostly black, white or brown. Heels on boots may not be higher than one (1) 1/4 inches. No knee high boots are permitted.
