As a forward thinking school community, we believe that our attitude about what we do, what we feel, what we believe is often influenced by how we dress. PPCA serves students who are goal-driven to succeed in competitive college and career settings. To accomplish our goals of preparing students for the job market, it is vital for them to begin exercising habits that will enhance their future achievements. The uniform dress code is one method of preparing our students for the future experiences.
Simple guidelines to the PPCA uniform dress code are as follows:
PPCA students will have the option of wearing school t-shirts and bottoms as well as business attire. The PPCA dress code policy is practiced by students Monday through Thursday, with students having the option of dressing out (according to dress code) on Fridays or other specified days for $1.00.
Shirts: School t-shirt or solid navy, black, gray, or white polo-style collared long/short sleeved shirt with PPCA logo or no logo. Logos other than the PPCA logo must not exceed 1” in diameter. Shirt0s do not have to be tucked in pants, shorts or skirts, but must cover the torso
Bottoms: Khakis (tan), dark denim jeans, navy or black pants, and shorts. The fit of pants should not be too tight or hanging on the hips in an
indecent manner. The length of shorts should be fingertip length or longer when arms are at side. Skinny jeans are permitted, but must not be too tight
Dresses, skirts and suits: Should be fingertip length or longer and have sleeves. Dresses, skirts and suits must be worn with flat closed-toe shoes or sandals with a strap around the back of the heel. Colors of dresses are of personal choice. Leggings may be worn only with a shirt/dress that is fingertip length.
Business attire consists of dress slacks, school appropriate shirt, dress or skirt. Jeans/jeans skirt and a dress shirt does not qualify as business attire.
