All Saints Uniform Guide AYE 2027

UNIFORM POLICY 2026-2027

THE “WHY” OF THE UNIFORM POLICY The Uniform Policy is rooted in a desire to create and promote a learning environment where attire is not a distraction to the educational process. Therefore, students are required to adhere to this policy while attending All Saints Academy. This policy is based on the following principles: Clothing historically calls attention to the role someone has in society (e.g., law enforcement, firefighters, medical professionals, clergy, athletes, military). School uniforms are a visual reminder of the purpose of students – to learn.

Clothing choices are not neutral and have often been used as a way of distinguishing people (e.g., socio-economics, name brands, preferences). Uniforms remove the distraction.

While clothing is often considered a means of personal expression, uniforms remind students that their primary expression comes from character choices rather than clothing choices.

Uniforms engender a sense of common identity and goals. Whether in Primary Prep or Secondary, the students are part of a community that strives together.

OTHER BENEFITS OF UNIFORMS Uniforms can save time by limiting morning choices for kids.

Uniforms should save families money by de-emphasizing the social impact of clothing.

Uniforms provide a safe environment by allowing staff to identify non-students easily and quickly (either on- or off-campus).

DRESS UNIFORM REQUIREMENT ***NEW to the uniform guide is a Required Dress Uniform that will be used for Choir concerts, presentations, and special occasions. The required uniform may also be worn daily at school. All other clothing items currently listed are optional additions.

All uniforms are to be purchased from the online school uniform stores: Lands’ End or French Toast (unless otherwise noted). EXCEPTION: French Toast clothing can sometimes be found on Amazon at a discount. For easy access, follow links to the All Saints Academy store pages:
