At TCMI Academy, students are expected to wear uniforms daily as part of fostering a focused, safe, and inspiring learning environment. Research shows that school uniforms not only enhance academic performance but also boost school spirit, promote a positive school image, and strengthen student discipline. They help reduce distractions and peer pressure, encourage pride and self-respect, and simplify morning routines—making life easier for families while supporting a unified school culture.
UNIFORM GUIDELINES
SHOES: Must be non-marking shoes, used during indoor sports such as basketball, tennis, and volleyball. Non-marking shoes are required as they leave no mark on our flooring. A way to recognize if you have a non-marking shoe is by rubbing the sole of the shoe to a white piece of paper, which should produce no scuff marks.
SKIRTS: Girls who choose to wear skirts with their uniforms must wear shorts underneath.
HAIR: Hair must be combed or brushed, trimmed, and attractive. Extreme, unnatural styles or coloring is not permitted.
JEWELRY: Jewelry in modest amounts. Earrings must be small (not loose). Boys may not wear earrings. No facial or tongue jewelry is permitted.
BELTS: Belts are optional for girls and boys. If worn, belts must be stretchable so that children can pull up or down their pants or shorts without unbuckling the belt.
SWEATERS/JACKETS: Students are only to wear a solid navy or grey sweater/jacket with no logos while in school.
BOTTOMS: Students may only wear navy or khaki pants/shorts. For P.E. days, only navy, gray, or black athletic shorts/sweat pants.
