Uniform Policy
Goucher Charter Academy strives to create an environment where our students are focused on learning, not
clothes. This will be accomplished through our school uniform policy.
Less Distraction and drama in the classroom
Level playing field among students
Sense of belonging and school unity

Important Uniform Information
All shirts must be tucked in at all times with a belt (black or brown).
Pants must fit at the waist and not below.
All students will wear closed-toed shoes, preferably a plain, mostly black or white tennis shoe.
Students may only wear solid-colored shirts underneath their polos (short sleeve or long sleeve). Writing and/or designs should not be visible through polo.
Students are not allowed to wear hoodies. GCA will continue to work with Progressive Screens Inc. to order jackets and sweatshirts again this year.
No bandanas, hats, scarves, caps, head wraps, etc.
Parents should make every effort to ensure the uniform shirts and pants are cleaned regularly. Torn, damaged, or worn clothing is not accepted and will require replacement.
Students must arrive at school dressed properly according to GCA dress code and must remain in dress code until leaving campus. Parents will be called if their child's uniform is not appropriate for the day. We will ask that parent to bring the missing item to school as soon as possible. If the parent is unable to bring the item to school, the item will be purchased by the school and charged to the parent.
