School Uniform/ Dress Code
Young Achievers adopted a MANDATORY uniform policy in September 2009, which means all Young Achievers scholars in K-8th Grades must wear the required uniform. We believe that a school uniform helps promote academic achievement, builds community and most importantly, improves student safety.
- YA scholars are expected to wear the school uniform during the school day ie. Monday-Friday, 8:30a to 4:00p.
- New or transferring students must comply within 5 days of starting at YA.
All students will follow the YA Dress Code,
Monday through Friday during school hours, 8:30 a.m. - 4:00 p.m.

Dress Code
Students will dress in a manner that shows pride in themselves and their school. All students are required to dress and groom themselves suitably for school activities in clothes, which do not disrupt the educational atmosphere of the school. In general, attire that would not be acceptable includes (but is not limited to):
- Hats, bandannas, headbands, or combs/picks in the hair.
- Scarves or head wraps except for religious or medical reasons.
- Overly tight clothing, transparent fabric or clothes that overexpose the body. This includes but is not limited to: beach-like attire, bathing suits, bare midriffs or backs, halter tops, tube tops, low cut blouses, muscle shirts, pajamas and other attire that could be distracting.
- Skirts and shorts should be school-appropriate length (i.e. not above the tips of fingers when standing) Underwear may not be visible.
- Chains and necklaces can only be worn beneath a student’s shirt or blouse.
- If a student is inappropriately dressed they will be required to change into a large Young Achievers T-shirt. If that will not correct the problem, the family will be called to bring clothes to school for the child to change into.
