School Uniform Policy (2016-2017 School Year) Arma Dei Academy requires that each student wear a school-approved uniform. The uniform enhances the atmosphere of learning, minimizes questionable attire, and positively fosters a spirit of camaraderie among the student body. The student in uniform is identified with a group that strives for excellence and the Arma Dei Academy policy is established toward that end. Each academy student is requested to arrive at school wearing a neat, clean uniform in good condition. Please consult the uniform charts on the following pages for a complete description of the Arma Dei Academy uniform guidelines and note there are TWO distinct types of uniforms the chapel uniform and the everyday uniform. * Arma Dei Academy also maintains a Uniform Closet where parents may recycle and/or collect gently worn uniform items. Sally Butler, the school receptionist, will oversee this service for the 2016-2017 school year. Please email her at receptionist@armadeiacademy.com with all uniform questions. *Please note updates to the uniform policy are indicated in bold and/or italic text.
