The Providence Uniform Dress Code encourages a community spirit at Providence Academy and enhances school pride. It provides a means of focusing on the student as a unique individual while diminishing the importance of external factors. Please look over the following LS Dress Code reminders:
Hair
Hair is required to be neat, washed, combed, and in proportion with the expectations noted below. Hair should also be a natural color. The style should not draw undue attention to the student.
Girls: Any girls’ hairstyles or accessories that draw undue attention to a student are not permitted. Hair clips or headbands should be 2” or less in width, including any attached flowers or adornments. No additional hair accessories, such as scarves or beads, should be worn.
Boys: Boys are required to have short, well-groomed hair. Hair should be cut above the ears on the side and above the collar from the back (including tails). Sideburns may be no longer than mid-ear. In addition, at least half the forehead should be showing.
Jewelry
No body or facial piercing jewelry is allowed. No tattoos should be visible. No ankle bracelets are allowed.
Girls: Post or hoop earrings should be a maximum of one inch in length and one inch in diameter. No dangling type earrings are allowed. Girls are allowed to wear one bracelet on each arm. Necklace: A simple and modest in size charm, cross, or religious medal may be worn on a chain. Elaborate jewelry of any type may not be worn.
