AOH Uniform Policy
The official school colors are burgundy and black for the Academy of Hope. Students can wear tops and bottoms based on the AOH dress code shown below. Please check with the school for the status of the uniform inventory if you need assistance with apparel for your student(s).
Dress Code
As an incentive for following the school’s dress code, students who adhere to the policy Monday – Thursday will be allowed to participate in Dress Down Fridays each week.
Here is the AOH Dress Code:
- Tops – Black or Burgundy polos (with or without the school’s logo) or T-shirt with AOH designs
- Bottoms or Skirts – Black, Khaki, or Burgundy. Tights must be black or burgundy under skirts or dresses. No other color or designed tights should be worn. Belts should be worn. You can purchase bottoms from any retail store. Shorts, skirts and jumpers should be of adequate length to assure modesty when the student is seated or engaged in school activities. No cargo pants or cargo shorts allowed. Shirts must be tucked into pants, shorts or skorts.
- Shoes – Comfort shoes (e.g., dress or tennis shoes); Crocs must remain in sports mode. No skate shoes allowed.
- Hoodies – Students are allowed to wear hoodies at their teacher’s discretion. Hoodies without zippers must be black or burgundy with NO decals or pictures. Hoodies with zippers can be any color. Hoodie zippers must remain down in common spaces to expose the uniform.
- Leggings: Solid color
- Socks: Solid Neutral Color (black, brown, white or khaki) or burgundy
- Pajamas are prohibited at all times.
Students, along with their parents or guardians, are responsible for adherence to the uniform policy. Your cooperation will be greatly appreciated.
There are disciplinary steps for dress code violations. Please review the consequences for violating the school’s dress code and discuss these steps with your student(s). Repeated violations due to failure to follow the policy could ultimately result in OOS (Out-of-School Suspension).
