Grades PK3 - 5th
A uniform dress code was selected for Kindergarten through fifth grade for the following reasons:
- More convenient and economical
- Eliminates extremes in dress and competition among students
- Helps in discipline
- Creates a distinctive school identity and promotes school spirit

K3 and K4 students are allowed to wear casual, comfortable clothes. Shorts are permitted. Students do not wear shorts on Chapel Day. For the students’ safety in playing at P.E. and recess, no flip flops or backless shoes are permitted, only closed toe shoes and shoes with backs.

No cleats or shoes with soles which will mark floors will be permitted. Shoes with rollers on the bottom are not permitted. No crocs are allowed for safety reasons.

Cargo pants or shorts are not acceptable.
Shirts with inappropriate logos or messages are not permitted. Girls are not to wear halter tops or tops that reveal midriff.
All clothing (including uniforms) should be permanently and plainly marked on the inside with student’s name to prevent loss.
Hair is to be well-groomed, neat, and out of the eyes. Boys’ hair is to be neatly trimmed, not below the collar, and with the ear lobes showing.
No hats or caps are to be worn in the buildings.
Students are required to purchase starred (*) school uniform wear from Parker. Other uniform pieces may be purchased from companies other than Parker, but they must be equivalent in style, length, and color.
T-SHIRT DAYS—ALL GRADES K-5th
Unless otherwise noted on the school calendar, every Friday will be “T-Shirt Day.” Only t-shirts which have been approved and/or sold by Legacy may be worn. These t-shirts may include Witness Wear, Carnival, Science Club, Accelerated Reader, Spirit Club, etc.
There may be some special t-shirt days on which only Carnival t-shirts may be worn.
Appropriate wear for t-shirt ensemble will be denim jeans, shorts or skirts of a solid color (must meet uniform minimum length code), khaki slacks, or khaki shorts. Belts must be worn. The regular school uniform is always an acceptable alternative for wear on t-shirt day. No athletic wear is allowed.
SPECIAL DRESS DAYS AND EVENTS: ALL GRADES K-5th
Occasionally, Legacy Elementary will have a “Dress-Up Day” of some type. Examples include Valentine Red and White Day, Red and Green Day at Christmas or on Awards Day at the end of the school year. On these days, it is important to remember the spirit of the uniform code at Legacy Elementary. Our goal is modesty in all things and to keep our focus on Christian character of the individual. In order to maintain these goals, we ask that any outfit chosen for wear on these days conform to the same high standards as the daily uniforms. Belts must be worn. Jumpers, dresses, shorts, or skorts must meet the usual minimum length requirements. This applies also to any specially required evening or off-campus functions at which students are representing Legacy Christian Academy.
The uniform and dress policy is administered by the principal or designee who reserves the right to make final determination in all matters of judgment regarding dress.
